In the aftermath of his lover's suicide, Jean-Baptiste struggles to move on. But her spectral presence continues to haunt him, forcing him to confront the guilt and desire that linger. As he slips further into obsession, Jean-Baptiste must decide whether to embrace the ghost or exorcise it forever. Sartre's chilling exploration of love, loss, and the power of the subconscious will leave readers questioning the nature of reality itself.
