Her aim is to escape her old life and the memories that haunt her, but the house has a dark history that she is yet unaware of.
As Julia settles into her new home, she starts experiencing strange occurrences that she cannot easily explain or dismiss. Objects move on their own, eerie noises permeate the silent rooms, and chilling visions appear, steadily blurring the line between the supernatural and her psychological state. The history of the house and its previous inhabitants slowly unfolds, revealing a disturbing past that echoes Julia's present sorrow.
