For the past three months college student Matthew Riley has been plagued by strange dreams. Dreams of a demon woman who demands he do as she says. Refusing to give in to her, she haunts his sleeping hours relentlessly, poking and prodding at his psyche until he relents.
When the woman starts tormenting him during his waking hours, Matthew struggles to stand his ground and resist her temptation. But as he starts to cave into her demands, a question echoes in the back of his mind: is this real, or just in his head?
