When Kane tries to piece together his memories, his definition of reality starts to come undone…
All Kane Montgomery knows is that the police found him half-dead in the river. The only witness – his little sister Sophia – claims he was dragged there by something
As Kane pieces together clues, he’s confronted by reality rapidly coming undone.

Increasingly tangible and terrifying realities materialize around Kane…and then his memories begin to return.
