In early 1900s England, Helen Ackerman unexpectedly inherits her family's sprawling estate-a legacy that should have gone to her brother, Edwin. But as the shadows gather, Helen realizes her inheritance comes with a chilling mystery: Edwin has vanished without a trace. As Helen takes possession of the estate, she begins to uncover dark secrets buried within its walls. Strange occurrences plague her, from eerie whispers in the halls to unsettling visions. Desperate for answers, Helen delves into her family's troubled history, only to discover a curse that has haunted the Ackerman bloodline for generations. With the help of an enigmatic stranger, she must confront the sinister forces at work before they consume her-and before Edwin's disappearance becomes her own fate.

They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things.

Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.
