English carpenter Joe Walker thinks his life is over when he discovers his wife and best friend having an affair. Restoring an abandoned theatre offers little hope for a fresh start...until he follows a group of strangers through a hidden door into a world he never could have imagined.

Here, Joe finds a sense of belonging he's never known before--and a chance to uncover the truth behind the frightening visions that have haunted him since childhood.
