Amongst the wind-swept desolate marshes and dense forest sits Ithaca, cloaked in mist post rainfall; a storm is coming. Once a palatial estate turned children’s home, now a high-end hotel, much like its former owners, Ithaca rots from the inside out. Though its exterior is luxurious, its rooms well appointed, and the restaurant’s menu composed of delicious, hand-foraged wild produce, the twisted secrets of Ithaca’s past form an indelible stain that cannot be exorcised.
Into this eerie world steps Leda, under cover, pretending to be a ghost-writer tasked with penning the memoirs of the estate’s previous owner: Jove Livingston who has passed away. A memorial event to celebrate Jove’s life is being held, an event that will be celebrated by a lavish dinner. Leda will discover the deep and terrible secrets of Ithaca.

Former war correspondent Jason Frey struggles to reconnect with ordinary life as he prepares for fatherhood. A social visit turns dark when celebrity hypnotist Timothy Bevan invites guests to explore their “past lives.” Jason, dismissive at first, is subjected to hypnosis and suddenly finds himself inside the mind of a brutal murderer.
Gripped by the violent clarity of the experience, Jason returns to Bevan to dig deeper rather than dismiss what he has seen. Their journey reveals a series of memories tied to a real, unsolved serial murder that took place the year Jason was born. Retired journalist Elliot Reed helps Jason piece together the archival trail - but when evidence points toward Sebastian Crane, a respected academic, the logic becomes impossible. If Crane is Jason’s past self, then Jason shouldn’t exist.
As Jason’s confidence unravels and the danger increases, he and Clara are pulled into a quest for truth that blurs memory, identity, and reality itself. When Bevan is murdered, Jason faces the horrifying possibility that what he unearthed may not be mere recollection but something deadly real.
