As Dr. Sarah Faithful delves deeper into the case of the missing student, she begins to experience terrifying visions and nightmares that seem to be linked to the disappearance. Along the way, she enlists the help of her colleague Dr. Archie Peaks, who is skeptical of the supernatural aspect of the case.
As they investigate further, they uncover a sinister cult that worships an ancient entity known as the Shadow Man, who is said to be responsible for the student's disappearance. Dr. Faithful soon discovers that the creature from her nightmares is not just a figment of her imagination, but a real, malevolent force that is targeting her specifically.
As the line between reality and hallucination blur, Dr. Faithful must confront her own inner demons and face the darkness that resides within her own mind in order to save herself and uncover the truth behind the student's disappearance. The Fear of Darkness explores themes of mental illness, supernatural phenomena, and the power of the subconscious mind.
