PH: Ethan

Ethan Cole, a brilliant but troubled medical student, vanished without a trace, leaving behind a void that echoes in the lives of those who knew him. His disappearance is more than just a missing person's case; it's a gateway to a world teeming with hidden realities, unexpected powers, and the enduring mystery of the Ember Lounge – a bar that exists on the fringes of reality. Years later, a group of friends—Cory, Tory, Zack, and Zoey—each gifted with unique psychic abilities, find themselves drawn into Ethan's orbit, propelled by a shared vision and an unshakeable feeling that they hold the key to unlocking the truth. Their journey begins with a shared sense of purpose, but it is quickly fraught with challenges, as they must contend not only with the supernatural elements entwined with the Ember Lounge, but also with their own inner demons and past traumas. This story is not merely a thrilling exploration of the paranormal; it is a deep dive into the human experience, exploring themes of friendship, loyalty, self-discovery, and the consequences of choices made in the shadows. Each character grapples with their own personal struggles and aspirations, their individual journeys interwoven with the central mystery of Ethan's disappearance and the secrets of the Ember Lounge. The investigation takes them on a twisting path, revealing layer upon layer of truth, pushing them to their limits—physically, mentally, and emotionally. As they delve deeper into the mystery, the lines between reality and the supernatural blur, forcing them to confront not only the secrets of the past but also their own deepest fears and vulnerabilities. Their bond deepens as they face incredible odds, their friendship the bedrock upon which they build their courage to continue their quest for answers, pushing them toward a breathtaking climax where the nature of reality itself is challenged, and the meaning of life hangs in the balance.
