PlotA married couple, Janice and Bill Templeton, live a comfortable life in New York City with their young daughter, Ivy. Their serene existence takes a turn when they become aware that a mysterious man has been following them for weeks. This man, Elliot Hoover, eventually confronts Janice and reveals that he believes Ivy is the reincarnation of his own daughter, Audrey Rose, who died in a tragic car accident eleven years ago. At first, the Templetons dismiss his claims as delusional and intrusive, but as unexplained phenomena begin to occur around Ivy, they start to question their initial skepticism.
Ivy experiences disturbing nightmares and begins to behave in ways that suggest she is reliving traumatic events from another life. Desperate to find answers and grappling with a fear for their daughter's safety, the Templetons reluctantly engage with Elliot's claims. They are drawn into an intense struggle between their rational minds and the strange occurrences that challenge their understanding of reality. As the psychological tension rises, the Templetons face unsettling revelations about the true nature of Ivy's condition, leading to decisions that test the boundaries of belief and familial bonds. The story unfolds with a mix of psychological tension and supernatural intrigue, inviting viewers to explore the perplexing intersection of past and present lives.
