Description

Isaac feels like a fish out of water in his new surroundings. His mother, Vera, has been hospitalized due to an enigmatic illness that clouds their lives with uncertainty and fear. Struggling to adapt to his new environment, he often finds solace in visiting her, where he grapples with his emotions and the helplessness of her condition.

As he navigates the complexities of a new school, Isaac encounters friends and foes alike, but it's not just the typical teenage dilemmas that haunt him. Whispers of strange occurrences and eerie happenings in the hospital begin to plague his mind. He senses an otherworldly presence that seems connected to his mother’s illness, one that intertwines their fates.

Isaac's quest for understanding leads him down a path filled with mystery, desperation, and the supernatural. With each revelation, he inches closer to uncovering the truth behind the phantom limb—a metaphor for the parts of life that remain ungraspable yet profoundly impactful. Through endurance and courage, Isaac learns that love and connection transcend even the darkest of challenges.
