Synopsis
Insomnia: After the death of his wife, Ralph Roberts develops worsening insomnia and begins noticing coloured auras, strange figures, and patterns invisible to other people. His altered perception draws him into a conflict involving his neighbour Lois, escalating violence in Derry, and beings who appear to influence human lives. Ralph must decide how much of what he sees is real and what role he is expected to play in events that reach beyond ordinary time.
