Forget walking a mile in their shoes, try to last five minutes in their mind.

In the near future, Neural Immersion allows therapists to enter the minds of their patients, navigating memories and confronting trauma from within. Dr. Adrian Helstrom has spent years mastering the procedure, guiding others through the darkest corners of their psyche without losing himself.

Eleanor Vance seems like an ideal patient. But when Adrian enters her mind, he finds a labyrinth of decaying memories, shifting corridors, and things lurking just beyond the edge of sight. Childhood homes become nightmares. Familiar faces twist into monsters. Somewhere in the darkness, Eleanor's voice calls to him.

As Adrian ventures deeper, the horrors begin to feel disturbingly personal. His training offers no answers, his methods are failing, and the path back to reality is nowhere to be found. Something in this labyrinth knows him. Something is waiting for him.

And the deeper he goes, the more he begins to fear that the darkest corners of the human mind are not always those of the patient.
