Description:
It's the 1950s in a perfect suburban town. Michael, a seemingly normal boy, is plagued by terrifying nightmares and a growing unease around his parents. His unsettling feelings worsen as he befriends Sheila, a curious classmate. He finds it hard to share his disturbing suspicions about his family with anyone, including Sheila or the school counselor. As the story progresses, the conflict between Michael's peaceful life and his hidden fears intensifies, leading to a frightening truth.
