There must have been a moment when Vivian McAllister's life broke open and reset itself, though she was too distracted to notice.

One day she was part of the world she had built for herself. The next, she was treated as if she had already disappeared.

Vivian was a psychologist working with rare and severe cases. She was trained to understand isolation, not to live it.

After an incident at the clinic, everything began to slip. A lapse in judgment. A breach in procedure. A death that should never have happened. Guilt settled in, heavy and relentless, and with it came the dreams.

At first, they felt familiar. Nightmares she has known since childhood. But soon they began to change. They followed her into her waking hours. They bleed into her memory, perception, and thought. The distinction between what was real and imagined started to dissolve.

As Vivian's grip on reality weakened, she was forced to confront the possibility that her mind was not simply breaking under pressure.

Something else was taking shape beneath the surface, something that has been waiting for her to look away.
