Storyline:
Sometimes it's not what you see... it's what you hear that haunts you.
A school teacher’s quiet life shatters when he’s jolted awake by a strange, unnerving sound — a chime unlike anything he has ever heard.
At first, he dismisses it as a dream.
But when the sound returns, night after night, bringing with it visions, paranoia, and chilling disturbances, he realizes something far more sinister is at play.
As reality fractures around him, the teacher must uncover the source of the sound — before it consumes him completely.
The chime calls... And what follows... cannot be escaped.
