About the series

Seven years ago, a blind girl named Prairie disappeared without a trace. Her adoptive parents had already accepted that she would never return, but one day Prairie suddenly comes home. The most shocking part is that she can now see. Calling herself OA, she reveals almost nothing about where she has been all these years. Instead, she asks a local high school student to gather five people in an abandoned house. There, OA begins telling them the story of her disappearance, her captivity, and the people she encountered along the way. Her story gradually unfolds into a mysterious tale involving secret experiments, death, other dimensions, and the possibility of returning to a place that should have been impossible to reach. As the five listeners try to make sense of her extraordinary claims, they begin to question what really happened to OA during the seven years she was missing.
