Beschreibung

John Bradford is at the end of his rope, a lost soul struggling to find his place in the world. A chance encounter with an impossible visitor from the past changes everything and sets John on a journey to save everyone dear to him. This nostalgic love letter to a bygone era blends cosmic horror with a nightmarish sense of paranoid psychedelia and existentialism. A haunting tale of small-town America, addiction, and redemption, Wakefield’s debut is a twisting, dreamy quest to set the wrong things right.

    What happens when obsession refuses to die? 
    When photographer Alex steps into an abandoned house searching for artistic inspiration, he begins hearing whispers that should not exist.
