Plot

After a traumatic situation that turns Vega into an agoraphobe, she decides to live like a hermit in an apartment at her father's suggestion. Her life changes radically as she begins to see the inexplicable and hear the unignorable. As her horrific visions intensify, Vega begins to piece together a dark jigsaw puzzle illuminating evil's malign power. A series of explosive situations: a sinister presence in the apartment, her neighbor's bizarre obsession, and a dark forgotten past, bring the story to a chilling, claustrophobic and tense spiral.

gollark: Wait. He said "bring down servers" so no...
gollark: Or just "he decided there's a balance issue and refuses to explain that".
gollark: If there's a reason, and it's not security, and he refuses to explain it, that is stupid™.
gollark: That shouldn't null pointer exception though.
