A psychologically complex supernatural drama about two couples confronting buried resentments and desire in a haunted house of memory, where the past offers a strange chance at redemption.

A drama with a supernatural edge, this genre-crossing gem finds two couples visiting a home from their past, and sexual tension that brings out the worst in each other. Long-buried grudges resurface and it seems unlikely the couples will return intact. Faced with an outcome that will upset their delicate balance of happiness, the world offers them a bizarre opportunity to correct it.
