Synopsis:
The story centers on Leah (Findlay), a talented young artist, who is recovering from a recent traumatic event; she is afraid to leave her own home. Soon after, her father is visited by a suspicious art curator looking into her family’s past. Later, Leah begins drawing a graphic novel, in which an ominous Dark Stranger pursues a lonely girl doll across a foreboding fairy tale landscape. As the work on the novel progresses, Leah begins to see The Dark Stranger (McHattie) in real life.
