Its time to repent for your sins
Overview
Twenty years after a mysterious energy-gathering event, Dante remains haunted by what he witnessed that night. Withdrawn and unstable, he can no longer distinguish memory from hallucination. As his children investigate the tragedy that fractured their family, they uncover a past shaped by suppressed memories, guilt, and unresolved consequences. Meanwhile, Dante is pursued by Virgil, a spectral presence who acts as both guide and tormentor. Through a series of psychological trials, Virgil forces him to confront his distorted recollections, moral failures, and the truth of what happened in 2022. As past and present collide, Dante and his children must face their conflicting versions of the truth—and discover whether understanding it will bring forgiveness and redemption or cost them their sanity.
