Storyline
A young girl with a troubled past, JENNA FROST was headed down a destructive road until a passion from her childhood re-emerged. A love of art. Drawing. An outlet where she could channel her darkness. Exorcise her demons. The culmination of that refuge is her latest project, SAFEHAVEN, a graphic novel born from her nightmares. But after a car accident leaves her in coma, Jenna becomes trapped in her subconscious; a dystopian teen purgatory she believes to be real. Like Dorothy in Oz, Jenna begins a journey through a place she created. A place where paranoia runs rampant and demons lurk around every corner. The only person who can help her is JOHN RAYBURN, the school’s new crisis counselor. In reality, Rayburn is a cognitive therapist; an enigmatic man with an uncanny talent for tapping into the unconscious. Together, they must form an unusual dual-world partnership in a race to uncover the truth and bring Jenna back to life. .... SAFEHAVEN is two stories in one. The first takes place in the Coma World, a universe inside Jenna’s mind where nightmares become real. The second takes place in the Real World, where certain individuals want to make sure Jenna never regains consciousness. Most characters appear in these two worlds or timelines - the Real World and Coma World which is a terrifying creation of Jenna's subconscious. As such, characters have two different versions of themselves. Characters don't know that there is an alternative story playing out in Jenna's head. Everything is real to them, no matter the world.
