Synopsis

Upon notification of his mother-in-law’s failing health, Paul Danniers agrees to move with his wife, Colleen, to Praxia Island, a small town off the coast of Maine. Unaware of the island’s history, the two find themselves thrust into a society of recluses who obey a peculiar set of rules, including Disappearance - the belief that if two people touch, they disappear.

As their stay extends into months, Paul enters an uncertain spiral of paranoia, and, with the help of a handful of curious and sometimes terrifying residents, begins to uncover the island’s sinister secrets: the all-seeing announcer who governs in sirens, sparrows, and warnings; the fact that no one has been able to leave the island; whether Disappearance is actually real; and a deep-rooted connection that Colleen seems to have with the town, one that threatens to possess her entirely.

WARNING’S WANE is a modern adaptation of the Greek myth of the Sirens, and at its core is a love story about alienation, the Other, authoritative corruption, and simply how we cope with being human.
