A dark psychological horror film about a woman's descent into misery and paranoia within her family's haunted house, culminating in a violent supernatural encounter with her doppelgänger.

Emma has a strong aversion towards her family’s new house, especially the attic. After moving in, she becomes miserable and reclusive. The rest of her family also seems unhappy and unsettled. The situation escalates one day when Emma is in the attic alone. All of a sudden someone who looks exactly like Emma attacks her viciously.
