Hannah is just an average teenager, a recluse, social inept, unpopular, and nerdy. After a hard day at school, Hannah needed to find a calm place. She liked to look in the mirror and talk to herself; it tended to help her calm down. Talking about everything wrong in her life: school, family, and herself. It always made him feel better, just a few minutes to herself to resolve all of life's disasters. That is until one day, her reflection talks back. Not the way it replicates whatever you say, but instead, a full conversation with her new best friend, herself.
Besides the fact that Hannah can talk to his reflection, Hannah's life stayed relatively the same, the same schedule of regret. After one especially terrible day, Hannah manages something amazing, something that has never been done before: traveling through the mirror.
Everything seems perfect; no pain, no sadness, and no strife. The question is, is the grass really greener on the other side? There is one rule in this perfect society, one that must never be broken under any circumstances: never communicate with a reflection. Why you might ask? Because the reflection's world is filled with terrible things, the most horrible things anyone could ever imagine. Is Hannah's reflection leading him to a doomed world? Who is the reflection?
Hannah thinks this is all a dream come true! No trouble can find her here. Just one thing she needs to remember, something that she forgot: dreams can be nightmares too.
