It scares her to not know about her invisible wanderer in her life and her chilling past she must uncover. With the help of her best friend Melody and her new lover, she might be able to build the courage to, or she will never know. The truth might sit above her head, yet she might be to scared to even face it.
Who is this stalker? Who is the person that stares at her when she sleeps? Who is the person that is behind the phantom footsteps? And why are they doing this?
