Keilah, an ordinary woman, is plagued by a recurring nightmare where she orchestrates the downfall of her best friend, Cora, to steal her husband. The dream feels chillingly real, leaving her anxious and troubled. When her aunt insists she visit a dream interpreter, Keilah reluctantly agrees, setting in motion a chain of events that pulls her into a world beyond her wildest imagination, filled with mysterious creatures and dark secrets. Will Keilah unravel the truth behind her disturbing dreams, or is she destined to become entangled in a destiny she never foresaw?

The storm outside raged, mirroring the turmoil within Keilah. It was supposed to be her wedding night, a moment of bliss, but a chilling dream consumed her. She saw herself, a monstrous architect of betrayal, relishing in the screams of her best friend, Cora, gang-raped and discarded. The dream was vivid, a horrifying tableau of stolen happiness and callous satisfaction.

Keilah jolted awake, gasping, her body slick with cold sweat. Beside her, Cora slept peacefully, a stark contrast to the nightmare. Silently, Keilah slipped from the bed, seeking the numbing embrace of a cold shower. The icy water cascaded over her, a desperate attempt to wash away the lingering anxiety of the dream. Once clean, she felt a fragile sense of calm, ready to face the day.

She walked into the kitchen, the aroma of pancakes filling the air, only to find her aunt lost in thought. “Aunt,” Keilah ventured, her voice soft. Her aunt hummed in response, her gaze distant. Before Keilah could press further, Cora’s booming 'Hellooo, good morning, everybody!' shattered the quiet, bringing the nightmare flooding back.
