A haunting psychological drama about grief and fractured reality, where a widowed father's deteriorating mental state blurs the line between supernatural threat and internal collapse.

Following the death of his wife, a young father's hold on reality crumbles, and a strange presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons.
