From the publisher
SEASON 4 AIRING NOW! On an ordinary evening in November 1993, Micah’s entire world collapsed when her father, Nolan, died in a car accident. That night left Micah haunted by debilitating night terrors and a mysterious recurring dream that's always felt like more than it seems. How it Ends was meant to dispel the nightmares and help process her loss. Instead, Micah's world is upended when she receives new information about her father’s accident from an unexpected source. Though she has more questions than answers... one thing is clear. Sometimes dreams aren’t dreams at all—they’re memories. General Content Warnings: Adult language, alcohol consumption, marijuana use, death of a parent, grief, stalking. Note: Episodes may have specific CWs. Please read episode descriptions before listening. How it Ends is produced by How it Ends Studio and distributed by Fable and Folly.
