A noir-tinged supernatural thriller about grief and manipulation, where a charming mystic preys on a widow's longing for her dead husband until the deception spirals into genuine darkness.

On the beach one night, Christine Faber, two years a widow, thinks she hears her late husband Paul calling out of the surf...then meets a tall dark man, Alexis, who seems to know all about such things. After more ghostly manifestations, Christine and younger sister Janet become enmeshed in the eerie artifices of Alexis; but he in turn finds himself manipulated into deeper deviltry than he had in mind...
