Rachel's parents have a simple rule: five hours of sleep. No more, no less. But after six months of this "simple" schedule, Rachel's exhausted mind plays tricks on her. She sees things that can't be real. Like the Boogeyman in her little brother's room. When no one believes her, Rachel takes matters into her own hands. But her sleep-deprived state blurs the line between reality and nightmare. Is the grotesque figure with too many teeth just a hallucination? Or is there something sinister lurking in the shadows?

The London Silver Vaults—for well over a century, the largest collection of silver for sale in the world. It has more locks than the Bank of England and more cameras than a paparazzi convention.
