BAFTA-winning writer Trevor Preston draws on his own experience as an artist in this dark thriller.

Anna is a painter driven to capture the haunting images of death that fill the twilight world of her dreams. But whose death do they foretell?

His film work includes Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire and the Mike Hodges directed I'll Sleep When I'm Dead with Clive Owen.
