Parker Elway is having dreams. Strange dreams; waking dreams; dreams in which she opens her eyes in the darkness to find herself paralyzed and surrounded by shadows from her deepest nightmares. The doctors call it sleep paralysis. But is it really so simple? As the waking terrors worsen and strange people begin to appear in town, Parker sets out to uncover the truth. And when she digs up a trove of hidden secrets and a dark past that everyone seems all too eager to forget, she begins to wonder: is her terrifying dream world merely the result of a sleep disorder? Or is it reality?

When an evil force from a parallel dimension threatens her world, a college student with supernatural abilities realizes that insomnia is the least of her problems. **** A rift has been torn in the veil that separates the human world from those that lie beyond, worlds that humans can only visit in their sleep. Supernatural creatures are escaping into the human world and bringing people's worst nightmares to life. Only one person can stop this terrifying onslaught-unfortunately, she doesn't know how. Callie O'Neill is a college student running from the demons of her past. What she can't escape are the vivid dreams that plague her sleep and keep her awake at night. As the reports of violent attacks by an unknown creature begin to pile up, Callie must confront the supernatural forces she has met before to prevent more deaths. The mystery of Callie's connection to these phenomena may not be a mystery to everyone. Alex Zidane, a recent acquaintance of Callie, seems unsurprised by the mayhem occurring around them. When Callie attends a Halloween festival and is plunged into a maze that resembles the one she traverses in her dreams, Alex must help her survive the chaos emerging from another world. Along with trying the save the world, Callie must decide whether to trust Alex or the mysterious group that sent him to protect her. If they manage to live through the dangers ahead, they must face the secrets they both keep and the attraction they both fight.

They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment.

The bridge between realities

8 parts Ongoing

She wakes up to blinding lights and silence. No name. No memories. Only the sterile scent of metal and the echo of her own heartbeat. Every day begins the same - strapped to a bed, surrounded by faces she doesn't recognize. They call it research. She calls it torture. Each session peels away another layer of her mind, until she no longer knows if the pain she feels is real or manufactured. The walls hum with electricity. The machines whisper in frequencies only she can hear. And the man who stands over her - the one with steady eyes and shaking hands - is both her tormentor and the only soul who looks at her like she's still human. As her fragmented memories begin to resurface, she realizes that the greatest experiment isn't on her body - it's on her mind. It's not a story about escape. It's a story about what's left of you after you've already lost everything.
