A disorienting supernatural thriller where a novelist's deleted manuscript bleeds into reality, blurring the boundaries between imagination, hallucination, and the metaphysical.

Ting-yin, a young novelist, is struggling to come up with a followup to her best-selling trilogy of romance novels. After drafting her first chapter, she stops and deletes the file from her computer. She then starts seeing strange, unexplainable things and finds that she is experiencing the supernatural events that she described in her novel-to-be.
