Abi dreams of the same place every night without fail; a dark, cold and vacuous place that seems determined to swallow her whole. There are no pills, no therapist and no distractions that can keep it away. She knows, she's tried them all.
When her best friend pulls her into one night of celebration, the lines between dream and reality begin to unravel and Abi is forced to confront the question she's spent years avoiding: what if the Cold Place isn't just in her head?
