From the stage of the Penny Farthing Theatre, Ava Adams uses hypnotism to draw long-buried memories from the lost and the lonely. Taught by her late mother, Ava once believed in her gift — until heartbreak shattered her confidence.

Damien Carter is running from disaster when he sees Ava’s face on a faded poster. It feels like he’s been waiting for her all his life.

But as dark forces conspire to break them, can they reach beyond the prison of their memories to find redemption together?
