A darkly comedic haunted-house drama that uses supernatural ambiguity as a lens for mental illness and family dysfunction, balancing horror tropes with character-driven humor.

A dysfunctional family moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Patricia “Pat” Phelps, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same.
