She sends a letter to her brother Mark, a music student in Rome, urging him to visit her immediately. Mark becomes consumed by concern after reading Rose's message and decides to travel to New York. Before he leaves, he witnesses an unsettling series of events involving a mysterious woman during one of his classes.

Other residents, including Rose’s neighbor Elise and a crippled scholar named Kazanian, also begin to experience strange occurrences.
