A slow-burn psychological horror that uses an isolated English mansion and an unreliable friendship to cultivate dread and paranoia, leaving the nature of reality deliberately uncertain.

A young woman is invited by her girlfriend, who lives in an English country mansion, to stay there with her. The estate, however, isn't quite what it seems--and neither is the friend who issued the invitation.
