LOGLINE:
In 1976, a Vietnam veteran plagued by uncontrollable psychic visions hunts for a missing girl and uncovers an ancient entity that harvests the dreams, memories, and identities of its victims — leaving behind distorted echoes. The one thing it can’t take is him. He hasn’t dreamed in years.
SYNOPSIS:
Echo of Midnight is the first chapter of a planned trilogy
Set between the 1920s and the 1970s, Echo of Midnight follows parallel
investigations across timelines and through different worlds. Led by
the troubled investigator and former Army intelligence officer
Anthony Macari as he returns to his hometown of Kenosha after a
thirteen-year-old girl vanishes from a secluded Catholic boarding
school. What begins as a missing-person case quickly deepens into
something far more disturbing when Macari uncovers a pattern of
disappearances stretching back decades — each tied to the same
institution, each marked by fractured memories, distorted reflections,
and witnesses whose accounts no longer fully align with reality.
As the investigation unfolds, Macari is drawn into the school’s buried
past through the journals of Sister Marilyn, whose firsthand account
reveals an earlier disappearance connected to the same phenomenon
decades prior. At the same time, Macari begins suffering from
uncontrollable psychic episodes linked to a mysterious burn he
sustained during Vietnam — violent flashes of places, memories, and
events he should not be able to see. The visions grow stronger as he
follows a trail of recurring sensory clues: an unplaceable HUM,
impossible reflections, and glimpses of a hidden realm existing just
beyond human perception.
What emerges is a chilling truth: a supernatural entity known as the
Dreamcatcher harvests dreams, fractures reality, and leaves behind
imperfect echoes — distorted replicas of the people it takes. As past and
present begin collapsing into one another, Macari must confront not only
the force behind the disappearances, but the terrifying possibility that
the boundary separating worlds is beginning to fail… and that some who
vanish are never truly gone.
