Plot
editThis article needs an improved plot summary. (October 2014) |
A young girl named Cassandra is haunted by nightmares of suicide, fires, and murder,[3] particularly of her young brother—who is currently in an asylum for unknown reasons—murdering someone. Her parents attempt to convince her all is well, but she does not believe them. As her nightmares worsen, she begins to uncover dark secrets about her family: her parents are siblings, her brother has escaped the asylum, and her nightmares are actually hints of her possessing clairvoyance.
