A slow-burn supernatural horror that uses a decaying house and mounting paranoia to explore guilt, faith, and the blurred line between psychological unraveling and genuine demonic presence.

Tomaz, an ex-soldier now homeless in London, is offered a place to stay at a decaying house, inhabited by a young woman and her dying mother. As he starts to fall for Magda, Tomaz cannot ignore his suspicion that something insidious might also be living alongside them.
