Plots:

In November 1979, after losing communication with the New Vineyard Asylum, located near Porter Lake, Maine, the police arrives to discover the bodies of patients and staff members, who died under mysterious circumstances from what appears to be excessive brain hemorrhage. No survivors were ever found and the asylum was left abandoned.

In 1991, while trying to locate a missing girl named Eden, Rose Hawkins, detective of the Massachusetts Police Department Juvenile Division, is led to the same asylum, where she is shot by an unknown man and left bleeding to death. Rose wakes up with no memories of the previous hours to find herself in Nowhere, a surreal maze-like world made of red curtains, resembling a backstage of a theater. Through the series of messages left on old reel-to-reel recorders, she is led to a mysterious woman named Noah, who is found sitting in a chair surrounded by mannequins. In exchange for Eden's whereabouts, Noah asks the detective to help her find her friend named Dorothy Simmons, a nurse who used to work at the Asylum before her death.

Using Noah's access card, Rose returns to the Asylum, now populated by mannequins and porcelain dolls that come to life and attack her. The detective finds the evidence the Asylum was financed by the Lewis Walker Foundation that was conducting parapsychological experiments on its patients. She learns of the "Sisters", six women with psychic abilities born as a result of a decades old collective consciousness project, who mysteriously disappeared in 1979, which led to the head of the project, Dr Thomas Walton, being dismissed from his position.

Rose sees Eden in the stockroom but scares her off, and the girl flees leaving behind her drawings of Shadows, dark human-shaped entities that haunt the asylum. Rose finds Dorothy's body in the infirmary placed in a ritualistic fasion inside a pentagram and discovers the truth behind her death: Dorothy and Noah, revealed to be one of the Six Sisters who wanted freedom from the constant experiments, conspired against Walton to ruin his reputation as Dorothy held some personal grudge against him. She manage to trick the doctor by disguising Noah as a nurse and putting an unknown patient in her place during the group psychic session, which led to all six women bleeding to death. Having managed to convince Audrey Millers, the head of security, to steal the key to Walton's lab, Dorothy found the evidence that the doctor had secretly disposed of the bodies, which she reported to the Foundation's committee. To get rid of Dorothy, Walton manipulated Audrey, who suffered from mild psychosis, into brutally stabbing the nurse to death with a scalpel.

Rose discovers the key to Walton's lab inside Dorothy's locker, which transports her back to Nowhere, where Dorothy's consciousness is now trapped between life and death, tormented by her past memories. The detective is guided to the mortuary where she has to fight the nurse's reanimated corpse until it falls to the ground, freeing her soul. Dorothy gratefully embraces Rose and asks the detective to forgive her before disappearing into dust.

Back in the Asylum, the detective is greeted by Noah, who assures her they won't be seeing the other woman again. The woman steps into the elevator heading to Walton's lab and smirks, revealing herself to be Dorothy possessing Rose's body, while the real Rose was left trapped in Nowhere, alone.
