Sobriety is a battle, but for Damon Richly, the fight for his life is about to become supernatural. Thirty-three years old and reeling from the wreckage of a methamphetamine addiction, Damon is living in a strict transitional home under the watchful eye of a ruthless house manager. Isolated and grieving the death of his best friend, Austin, Damon is desperate for a connection—even if it comes from the other side. Against the house rules, he turns to a Ouija board for a friend, but the board has other plans. Every time Damon hides the board, it vanishes, reappearing in impossible places and unleashing a new demonic entity. These are not random spirits; they are the physical manifestations of his past sins and darkest regrets. As the line between reality and psychosis blurs, a shapeshifting demon known as The Mimic takes Austin’s form to drag Damon back into the abyss. With his cousin Sammy Jo questioning his sanity and the house itself warping around him, Damon must confront the literal ghosts of his past. To survive the night and reclaim his soul, he must own the trauma he has spent a lifetime running from before the board consumes him entirely.
