A conservative Nanette Bentley spends a quiet evening at home performing her Obsessive
Compulsive Rituals that she feels keep her safe. As the night creeps in, so does the stalking
shadow of her past-Who is it and what do they want?
Just when Nanette thought it was all in her head- she opens her eyes to a startling wake up
call from her alarm that flat lines her into a world of domestic abuse, rape and murder.
What ritual will she attempt to use to get her out of this one? She asks, as she comes face to
face with her Alarm…The Wakeup call to Die for.
