Recently laid-off from his newspaper and desperate for work, war correspondent Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity. Its easy money, and a chance to return to his hometown for the first time in years. The app itself seems like a retread of old ideasrelaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the Sleep Songs. A womans hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothingits disturbing, and more of a warning than a relaxationbut it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows.

So do the nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidanceor are they threats? And her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: no one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him.
