The Story

Seventeen-year-old Emma Lindsay experiences “blinks,” moments when she drops into other lives and realities. After writing a story called White Space, she finds it eerily matches an unfinished manuscript tied to a long-dead writer and a strange world where books, mirrors, and alternate nows collide.

As Emma and other teens are drawn into a snowbound, dangerous place between realities, they have to figure out what they are, why they’ve been brought there, and how their abilities connect to the White Space, the Dark Passages, and the forces attacking them.

The narrative moves through multiple viewpoints and gradually reveals a larger mystery about reality, authorship, and survival. The cast is pulled deeper into a world of monsters, nightmares, and shifting truths while trying to understand what is real before their story is decided for them.
