Private Project

Lost Hope

Hope has always communicated with spirits, through seances and pendulums. When her deceased mother remains silent, she believes her mother’s soul to be trapped behind a mysterious locked door in a recurring nightmare. As Hope connects deeper with the shadows of the past, the line between the living and the dead begins to blur.
