Twenty-nine-year-old Emma is an intelligent, strong-willed and ambitious public relations exec that has come a long way from her strict and humble upbringing. She is independent to a fault and has never been one to seek help. When she suspects her sudden and frequent nightmares are the cause of her rapidly deteriorating health, she turns to renowned psychiatrist and oneirologist, Dr. Edward Clark. Dr. Clark isn't surprised when he learns Emma's nightmares have at least one thing in common-they involve trauma experienced from past romantic relationships. His concerns escalate, however, when he discovers she is losing the ability to differentiate her dreams from reality and witnesses her health plummet before his eyes. As they unearth past traumas of control, manipulation and violence, they uncover shocking clues buried in the depths of Emma's psyche that shed light on the darkness of her past. The diagnosis is more sinister than they could have ever imagined.
