A gothic horror-thriller about institutional decay and psychological unraveling, where a teacher's grip on reality fractures amid mysterious disappearances and supernatural dread.

A young woman goes to teach at the Ravenscroft Institute, a spooky old girls' school overrun by ants and staffed by some unusual types. Spurred on by a series of horrific hallucinations, she begins to investigate the mysterious disappearances of several students.
