Summary: Their cases usually start with someone dying or going missing, only this time, what draws Dean and Sam to a small, secluded town is the mysterious appearance of a woman after thirty years. What starts as a simple crossroads demon case spirals out of control as Dean slowly loses himself to the case, plagued by nightmares and hallucinations of monsters and shadows that stalk his every waking and sleeping moment. Things only get more complicated when Castiel shows up, worried about the brothers.

Between dealing with the Mark of Cain driving him crazy and a town that hides an ancient secret, Dean has to take things into his own hands and stop the ghosts that are hunting him once and for all.
