17-year-old Pursha Mary Williams was always a free-spirited girl full of love, affection and is always outgoing.

Imaginative and creative, she makes great stories about her dreams and has always gotten high grades during her childhood. However, as soon as she hit year 7, she had developed depression and anxiety as many students had picked on her for her drawings and stories about her dreams, claiming they were "stupid" and "unimaginative". The bullying had died down after a few years, but the depression and anxiety became worse and plus, she even developed insomnia, schizophrenia and bipolar.

Her parents, concerned, got Pursha to see a psychologist and although she felt a bit better herself, she still got depressed very often and so her parents got her a prescription for antidepressants. Turns out, they didn't acknowledge the side effects of using antidepressants! Pursha's anxiety got worse, she became irritable, she could only sleep for about 2-5 hours, she kept coming home early because of constipation after lunch.

At one stage she stopped taking her antidepressants when she met a boy named Jimmy Kogat. He was 5'7, dark brown curly hair with big eyes and skinny yet toned. Pursha was 16 when she met him, and they were inseparable wherever they went. Like all relationships, they had their ups and downs but for Pursha, it was more downs than ups for her. Sometimes when she'd come to school, Jimmy would hang out alone and he'd never tell Pursha why and left her in the dark. One day, she found him talking to another girl who was extremely popular at school and unfortunately for Pursha, with her anxiety hitting the high levels, she assumed that he's left her for that "skank" as she even knew the girl as Liana Marvania.

Rushing back home after school, there was nobody home. Her parents were at work. Her mother worked at the local butcher and her father worked as a mechanic. Pursha had a lot of negative thoughts racing around her mind with her depression at the highest it can go and her heart severely broken, she came to one "option", thinking it could end all the pain. She had started to overdose on her antidepressants and after taking a 6th pill, she immediately collapsed, going into a coma.

Now she lays on a hospital bed. Her father leaving work early to go see his beloved daughter and her mother staying by her side after she worked her shift at the butchery. Pursha's parents did know about Jimmy and even though he heard about what happened to Pursha, he was a no show. The only thing Pursha's parents could ever do is stay by her side and pray she comes out of the coma very soon...

Little did they know...that she would have to fight through a forgotten world, a world she created in her mind, to come back. But who knows...what monsters lurk deep within her mind and how she could stop them...?
