About Darklight

When her mother has an accident, Sarah begins to realise the world she knew is actually her worst nightmare. Hostage to her mother’s insecurities, she ultimately uncovers her sinister plan to prevent her leaving her side.
Just how long can Anne keep Sarah from the shocking truth?
From the outside there’s nothing unusual about Anne and her daughter Sarah. They’re somewhat reclusive, and seem harmless enough. Sarah’s disability has brought them closer together over the decades and they now exist almost entirely within the confines of the life Anne created for them thirty years ago.

While the rest of the world moves on around them, Anne and Sarah rarely stray from their routine. But Anne has a secret, and Sarah is about to discover that the closest person to her has been trying to keep it that way out of a fear of being abandoned.
