Qui incontrerà Rachel, una ragazza che, come lui, sostiene di essere perseguitata dallo stesso incubo. Insieme, i due cercheranno di scoprire l’identità della misteriosa signora ma si addentreranno in un mondo tetro e pericoloso governato da figure che nei secoli hanno ispirato gli artisti: le Muse.
