Anna is on a train to a family reunion when she gets a strange note threatening to destroy the Gray family. As she arrives at Luisa and John's castle, the door is locked and her family is drugged. By the time she gets inside, everything is in chaos and everyone is gone. Anna searches the castle and realizes that the person behind the attack is Thomas Gray, her adopted brother. Thomas blames the family for sending him to the asylum and now he wants to take revenge on them.

Anna follows the footprints to attic and finds one of Thomas's paintings. Since everything he paints will come to life, Thomas intends to use his special talent to trap each of his family members in their own nightmares. Anna enters the door to Luisa and John's nightmares. Thomas has turned them into wolves and made them kill each other, but Anna successfully saves them. Luisa gives her a key to Thomas's room so that Anna can continue her search. Searching Thomas's room, Anna learns that Thomas was very attached to Luisa and felt lost when she met John, which led to his insanity.

Anna finds another painting near Thomas's room and enters the McGrays' nightmares. Elizabeth is in a glass casket and James is trapped in prison. Anna frees them, but before they can leave, Thomas appears and catches the siblings in a stone trap. Anna manages to save them both and they leave the painting together. While looking for Jackie, Anna learns that Thomas's clinic was burnt down. He escaped and entered the family castle through a secret passage where he started the preparations. Anna discovers Thomas's secret room and a door to Jackie's nightmare. Anna and Jackie manage to escape, but Thomas has one last surprise for them. He releases monsters from his painting to attack them. Anna burns the painting, killing him and his monsters. Thanks to Anna, everyone is safe again.

### Bonus Chapter

Luisa asks Anna to go back in time and prevent the fire at Thomas's clinic. Anna goes to Dark Hills Medical Center, now damaged by the fire, to get into Thomas's past. In his room, Thomas plans to burn the clinic and escape that night after getting everything he needs for his plan. Searching the place, Anna gathers all the evidences and presents it to the director of the asylum, disclosing Thomas's plan. As a result, the fire is prevented and Thomas is still in the asylum, now under extra guard at the director's orders. But several members of the family, including Anna, come to visit him so he doesn't feel abandoned by them.
