Millennial Kelty Crawford is drowning in debt, job instability, and the crushing pressure of a wedding way beyond her budget. In a last-ditch bid for cash, she signs up for a paid sleep-study trial—but the dream that follows turns into a nightmare. She wakes from a terrifyingly vivid vision: a dying man, a knife slick with blood in her own grip, and a chilling voice pinning her as a killer. What starts as a quick paycheck quickly descends into a waking horror she can't escape.
