A graduate psychology student must help a young client make sense of terrifying visions while acts of brutal evil threaten to destroy them both. Doctoral student, Eric Hansen is in the second year of his counseling psychology program.

His first therapy client is thirteen-year-old, Greg who sees apparitions of children roaming outside his bedroom window.

While Greg's father leans towards a paranormal explanation, his mother fears mental illness and brings him to the university clinic.

Eric's efforts to help the boy stir up memories of his own traumatic past and both are drawn into a whirlpool of horror well beyond the reach of modern psychology.
