PlotA troubled teenager, Callum, is struggling with the recent disappearance of his younger sister, Ellie, whose absence has left a deep rift in his already fractured family. His mother, Claire, is barely holding herself together, plagued by guilt and desperate for answers, while Callum finds himself tormented by strange visions and inexplicable occurrences that seem to hint at Ellie's whereabouts. Convinced that supernatural forces are at play, he becomes obsessed with finding a way to communicate with her, retreating deeper into isolation and strange rituals. The boundary between reality and imagination blurs as Callum’s obsession grows, straining his relationships as he alienates his once-supportive friends and pushes his mother away.
Unable to shake the feeling that he is being watched and guided by an unseen presence, Callum uncovers hidden family secrets that cast new light on Ellie's disappearance. As he digs deeper, the emotional weight and psychological terror escalate, exposing the fragile lines between grief, guilt, and madness. With every desperate attempt to reconnect with his sister, Callum risks losing himself entirely as old traumas resurface and haunting discoveries suggest that Ellie's fate may be tied to forces beyond his comprehension. Each choice draws him further from safety and closer to an unknown truth that threatens to upend everything his family believes about their past.

Physical Media Reviews
Gripping but uneven: standout child performance, overused jump scares, Grand Guignol finale. Technical merits first-rate; supplements enjoyable.
