Drama
At fifteen, Jo is a fiercely independent tomboy—but one night, her sleep turns into a waking dread, where thick fog and shimmering auroras swallow the world. In this unsettling vision, her dog vanishes without a trace, her cries for help die in silence, and every familiar landmark morphs into a strange, alien terrain. Could this haunting premonition already be scripting the destiny of her waking hours?
