Afterlight

"There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in." - Leonard Cohen Landscape photographer Noah Ellison drives out to Utah's salt flats to shoot a once-in-a-decade meteor shower. What his camera catches instead is a figure standing in the reflection beside him - human-shaped, made of light, and watching. What follows is not a haunting. It's a slow, patient contact: a reflection that lags half a second behind, a photograph timestamped hours before it was taken, a geologist whose own encounter with the same phenomenon cost her a mentor twelve years ago.
As Noah and a small circle of scientists close in on the truth, they learn that the figures in the glass aren't intruders. They're older than mirrors. Older than water. And they believe humanity is the flawed copy - the distortion standing in the way of the original. Afterlight is a slow-burn supernatural thriller about reflection, observation, and what happens when the thing looking back finally looks first.
