1941 - Psychiatrist Addison Franckel opens a clinic investigating shell shock. Many of the patients' histories are filmed. What the tapes reveal is so disturbing the government has them suppressed. Amongst accounts of sleep paralysis and night terrors, there are rumours of unexplained paranormal activity. Accusations of medical abuse and rumours of missing patients follow, and in 1945 Addison Franckel disappears.
2024 - Researcher Gus Egan begins work for Louis Willes, a historian writing a biography about Henry Fuseli, painter of ‘The Nightmare.’ Willes’s property was once part of the Franckel clinic and as soon as Gus arrives an anonymous contact tells him there are copies of the infamous tapes hidden there.
