Psychologist Dr. Amelia Graves has spent years helping patients confront trauma, memory loss, and emotional scars. She believes every mind holds hidden truths waiting to be uncovered.
Until a patient tells her something impossible.
A young woman suffering from violent hallucinations begins describing places, conversations, and deaths she could never have witnessed — including details connected to Amelia’s own childhood.
Details no one else should know.
Soon, Amelia becomes haunted by fragmented memories she cannot explain: whispers in empty rooms, reflections that move seconds too late, and dreams of a fire that may never have happened at all.
As more patients begin reporting the same disturbing visions, Amelia uncovers evidence of a classified psychological experiment conducted decades earlier — one designed to explore whether human consciousness can leave echoes behind after extreme trauma.
