Haunted by traumatic memories of her mother’s violent death and the abusive upbringing she endured under her grandmother’s control, Anna seeks a fresh start. However, her past continues to haunt her through nightmarish visions and sinister whispers that echo the dark magic she was taught as a child. Determined to live a normal life, Anna channels her talents into her work, designing exquisite clothing that gains the attention of high society. She forms a friendship with Chloe, a wealthy client, and her husband, Nicholas, which provides her with a glimpse into a world of elegance and privilege.
