Infos

The world flickers for Callie Rivers. By day, she's adrift, haunted by the accident that shattered her brother, Finn, leaving him trapped in a silent world. By night, she becomes *The Sleep Whisperer*, a soothing voice in the dark corners of the internet, offering comfort to the sleepless. But Callie's whispers are more than just words; they are commands, veiled suggestions with devastating real-world consequences.
A troubled teen's suicide, a cryptic online post echoing Callie's whispered phrase, 'Let go. Just let go,' ignites a chilling chain of events.  Detective Edward Turner, a man haunted by the unsolved disappearance of his own sister, recognizes a disturbing pattern in a string of seemingly unrelated deaths-each preceded by contact with *The Sleep Whisperer*.
Callie's waking hours are a blur of fragmented memories and escalating paranoia.  She avoids sleep, terrified of the power her dreams command, but the exhaustion inevitably wins. Each descent into slumber is a descent into the digital ether, where her subconscious holds the strings of life and death.  The faces of the victims flash before her, their final moments a chilling echo of her whispered words.
Dr. Renee Weber, a brilliant sleep neurologist, enters Callie's fractured world, drawn by the unique nature of her ability.  Renee witnesses a disturbing phenomenon: Callie's whispers trigger neurological responses in others, mirroring hypnotic suggestion. But as Renee guides Callie through experimental dream-mapping technology, a sinister figure emerges from the digital static-Joshua Bailey, a charismatic online influencer with piercing blue eyes and a voice that promises understanding.  Is he a guide, a figment of Callie's fractured mind, or something far more sinister?
As Turner's investigation draws closer to Callie, he uncovers unsettling parallels between her brother's accident and his sister's disappearance, a shared darkness lurking beneath the surface. Meanwhile, under Joshua's tutelage, Callie's power intensifies, her whispers weaving a web of destruction around those she believes responsible for her brother's fate.  But with each act of vengeance, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, threatening to consume her entirely.
In a climactic showdown where the digital and physical worlds collide, Callie must confront the devastating truth of Joshua's identity and the terrifying extent of her own power. Trapped in a digitally induced lucid dream, she faces the fragmented ghost of her brother, a manifestation of her deepest guilt. Only by confronting the past can she reclaim her future and break free from the nightmare she has unwittingly created.  But even if she succeeds, can she ever truly escape the whispers that haunt the edges of her mind?
