"I'm not as crazy as everyone says I am. Trace my steps, and find me,"

Brie Lake, a woman shrouded in mystery, has spent a lifetime trapped within the confines of the enigmatic Mental Health Facility at Mearsea Hospital. She has never seen the light of day, until she gives birth to her baby boy, Jax, and is released.

On his 19th birthday, Jax learns of his mother's pending passing and rushes to her bedside. Little does he know that her final words will unleash a haunting quest for the truth.

Will tracing Brie's footsteps lead Jax to the liberating truth he seeks, or will he uncover sinister forces that seek to keep the secrets buried forever?
