A haunting, ambiguous meditation on grief and the boundary between the supernatural and psychological, told through a woman's isolated pursuit of contact with her dead brother.

Maureen, mid-20s, is a personal shopper for a media celebrity. The job pays for her stay in Paris, a city she refuses to leave until she makes contact with her twin brother who previously died there. Her life becomes more complicated when a mysterious person contacts her via text message.
