A dark, morally corrosive tale of greed and deception that spirals into supernatural horror, questioning the nature of guilt and redemption.

A psychic housewife and her husband accidentally find a kidnapped girl. Instead of informing the police, they hatch a scheme to get famous by working with the police as a psychic consultant to 'find' the girl. Just when it all seems to go right, everything goes horribly wrong.
