In the shadows of a moonlit city, the boundaries between reality and illusion begin to blur. "Ethereal Reflections" is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the depths of duality and the enigmatic nature of the human mind.

Dr. Alice Thornton, a brilliant young psychologist, finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue when a series of inexplicable events unfolds around her. Haunting whispers in the night, reflections that distort truth, and a mirror that seems to hold secrets beyond imagination-all lead her on a journey into the labyrinthine corridors of the psyche.

Haunted by her own past, Ava 'Avie' Hayes, Alice's enigmatic patient, becomes both a key to unraveling the mysteries and a source of new questions. As Alice uncovers hidden connections between the ethereal and the tangible, she realizes that the answers lie not just in the mirror's reflection, but within the recesses of her own heart.

As the line between dream and reality blurs, Alice must confront her deepest fears and confront the question: What happens when the mind becomes the playground of the unknown? In a race against time, she must decipher the cryptic whispers and unmask the illusions before they consume her sanity.

"Ethereal Reflections" is a masterfully woven tale of mystery and introspection, where the shadows of the mind hold more secrets than the eyes can perceive. Brace yourself for a riveting exploration of the human psyche, where the mirror's truth is both a revelation and a deception.
