A dark, paranoia-soaked supernatural horror about a detective hunted by a vengeful curse, built on dread and the inescapability of supernatural malice.

After a young mother murders her family in her own house, a detective attempts to investigate the mysterious case, only to discover that the house is cursed by a vengeful ghost. Now targeted by the demonic spirits, the detective must do anything to protect herself and her family from harm.
