Ninian Thomson, a reclusive university professor, is haunted by existential dread. As he navigates his routines, fragments of memories and unsettling visions disrupt his fragile psyche. Torn between his craving for order and the relentless march of uncertainty, Ninian embarks on a quest to uncover the elusive truths that have long eluded him. In this gripping exploration of the human condition, Ninian's journey plunges him into the depths of his own consciousness, where he must confront the demons of the past and the capriciousness of the present.
