What would you do if you felt you were being watched by your own reflection? Or something in the mirror started talking to you, would you talk back?
Better yet, would you try break through to join them?
When Joy's world falls apart, she starts seeing things in the reflections around her, almost calling to her. She sees images of a young boy in a meadow running to her, while a mysterious hooded figure lurks and calls to her from the trees. However, it is only when she finally breaks a mirror in the girls bathroom does she realise it wasn't her imagine, and she jumps in to try follow.
Only once she's there does she realise that all is not as great as it seems, and if she ever wants to get home she needs to try stop the breaking of this new world around her.
...Except the hooded figure from the trees reveals what he truly wants, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep her with him for eternity.
A coming of age story on finding yourself after grief... while finding love along the way. A mental health journey for those feeling lost and want to escape. Set in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
