When a mysterious, timeworn compass arrives unannounced at her doorstep, a young woman finds herself swept into a surreal and haunting dreamworld-one where the boundaries of time blur, and reality itself fractures like glass under pressure. Each turn of the compass draws her deeper into a shifting realm shaped by memory, longing, and the unresolved trauma she's tried so hard to forget. In this strange new landscape, the ghosts of her past don't just whisper-they breathe, move, and bleed. Faces she thought she'd left behind resurface in distorted forms, and echoes of a long-lost love begin to stir, fragile and piercing. As she journeys through warped fragments of her own life, she is forced to confront the echoes of a relationship once defined by fierce passion but shattered by betrayal and a deafening silence that never truly faded. The compass pulls her closer to the heart of the dreamworld, where a figure waits-a former lover, once tender, now twisted by grief and rage. He appears with a disarming smile and a sharpened blade, his eyes reflecting both love and vengeance, and his presence turning dreams into an escalating nightmare. Caught between illusion and reality, memory and madness, she must navigate a psychological maze where each step forward demands she confront her guilt, her choices, and the person she used to be. As the dreamworld begins to collapse and the compass spins toward its final destination, she faces an impossible decision-one that could finally break the cycle of pain or trap her in it forever.
