Compelled by an escalating sense of dread and urgency, Annie digs deeper into her mother's history, learning of disturbing events that might have fueled the supernatural occurrences. As she delves further into these dark secrets, Annie finds herself confronting personal demons and dark truths about her family history that she never imagined.
