In "The Dream," Myrna is haunted by visions of Stanislaus, her betrothed, trapped in a crumbling castle—visions that clash with the official records declaring him dead in World War I. Each night, the same dread pulls her back to the same crumbling tower, where shadows move and silence speaks.
Cecil Matthews, a disillusioned bank employee, flees with $30,000 and a desperate plan to reach Papinee—an island he discovered in an old travel book. After hijacking a mail plane to escape detection, he lands on the remote island, only to find it eerily deserted. What he doesn’t know is that Papinee’s isolation comes at a deadly cost.
