A psychological horror film that blurs the line between supernatural haunting and mental unraveling, anchored in grief and obsession.

After her husband is devastated by a tragic accident, a devoted wife obsesses over a mysterious portrait that resembles him as he was; but when it starts to terrorize her, she must decide if it's possessed or if she's losing her mind.
