Only a short time ago, Darren Michaels was a quiet store clerk in a sleepy New England town. Now in Willow Creek, England, a tormented Darren barely reacts as police handcuffs are closed on his wrists. All the evidence points to him, and the police have arrested Darren as their primary suspect in a fatal crime.

Then after several weeks of incarceration, Darren is unexplainably released. But he is not free. Darren remains terrorized by sleepless nights, night(Storyline via IGDB)
