As she becomes plagued with nightmares that blur the line between reality and dreams, Blair sets out to recapture her freedom. In a desperate effort to prove her innocence, she enlists the help of an unlikely ally.

Apollyn, tormented by his dark past, has long been a mystery to the asylum. Discovering that demons he hoped to have left behind have caught up to him and are using Blair as a messenger, Apollyn reluctantly reveals his secrets. Caught between two worlds, both Blair and Apollyn must confront their deepest fears to set each other free.
