Dreams.... Dreams are like a slip of the subconscious. A peek at what's hidden, what's supposed to be forgotten and never again remembered. But what if these dreams become more real than they're supposed to? What if they begin to distort reality?
For 17 year old Aainaa Stephens, these dreams are a normal occurrence. She's used to remembering all that she's dreamt. But when these dreams become more real, when she starts to feel these dreams, Aainaa is not so sure about them anymore. What are these and what are they trying to tell her?
And when the supposedly "non existing dream boy", Ian Arden, shows up at her high school, Aaina is left with hundreds of questions to which she has no answers.
Follow Aainaa in this mysterious journey of figuring out her identity, her purpose and most importantly, who is real and who is not.
