Struggling artist Jesse Hellman moves with his wife Astrid and daughter Zooey into a rural Texas farmhouse, hoping for a fresh start. Soon after moving in, Jesse begins to experience disturbing visions and an obsessive drive to complete a new painting, which becomes increasingly dark and menacing. Unbeknownst to the Hellmans, the house was previously owned by a man named Ray Smilie, who has a history of violence and severe psychological issues.

Jesse’s behavior grows more erratic as he channels darker forces into his art, leading to tension within the family.

As Jesse battles with his inner demons and the sinister influence of the house, Ray becomes more intrusive and aggressive in his attempts to reclaim his former home. The family's safety is threatened by Ray’s increasingly violent actions and Jesse's deteriorating mental state. Estranged from reality, Jesse's newfound artistic inspiration clashes with the horrifying events surrounding them, jeopardizing their hopes for peace and security. The tension escalates as astral, psychological, and physical dangers converge upon the family, forcing them to confront malevolence both human and supernatural.
