PlotLinda inherits Montclare, a secluded retirement home, from her recently deceased mother. On returning to manage the estate, she finds solace in familiar grounds while struggling with grief.

However, as she digs through her mother's old diary entries and the home's unsettling past, she starts to suspect that something sinister is happening. The environment becomes increasingly eerie, with sudden accidents and unexplained phenomena.
As Linda reaches out for answers, tension builds among the staff and residents. Isolated and under growing pressure, she can't shake off an intensifying feeling of dread.
