A heart-wrenching Orpheus and Eurydice retelling about love, loss, and the bonds that refuse to break even after death.
Rose always thought she'd have more time. Time with her sisters, with the life she was building, with the world she loved. But time is the first thing to slip away.
Now, she finds herself trapped in an unexplainable cycle of waking and dreaming. Each night, she opens her eyes in an unfamiliar medical space she calls The Room, where a man named Charlie subjects her to strange, silent treatments. Each morning, she wakes with less certainty of what's real.
In her waking life, Rose is a journalist trying to keep her grip on reality as her mind fractures between worlds. Memories twist. Time folds in on itself. Her sisters' voices echo like ghosts she can't quite reach. Desperate to return to them-to the life she lost-Rose must confront the terrifying truth of where she is, and what she's become.
The Daisy Chain Reaction reimagines the Orpheus and Eurydice myth through the lens of sisterhood, disability, and resilience. Blending emotional realism with surreal suspense, it explores what it means to love beyond loss and to find hope in the aftermath of heartbreak.
