In late 2020, while dreaming of a massive city and an ominous, omnipresent voice, a young artist makes a sculpture in her sleep – a sculpture of a monstrous creature and what appear to be letters. In an effort to decipher them, she consults a professor – who just happens to be Jesse’s uncle, and who died in 2023 under strange circumstances.
