In a surreal, haunting tale of ego and condemnation, five of history's most controversial authors-Salman Rushdie, Ayn Rand, Vladimir Nabokov, Bret Easton Ellis, and Marquis de Sade-find themselves mysteriously trapped in a dimly lit, endless library with no escape. Each of them confronts twisted, mocking versions of their own works, which turn into reflections of their deepest insecurities and hidden fears. As debates flare and egos clash, they are forced to reckon with the emptiness beneath their grand ideals. In the end, each writer's journey reveals the fragile, haunting truths of their lives: perhaps they were never meant to be remembered. Set against a backdrop of shadows and burning pages, this story is a philosophical and psychological descent into the unrelenting nature of ambition, pride, and the eternal search for meaning.
Angie, a grieving expectant mother, must help the spirit of a little girl find the remains of twelve other children who mysteriously disappeared three years ago.
