When 16-year-old Ava Carter and her family move into an old house with a dark past, she begins to notice something unsettling-her reflection isn't always in sync with her movements. At first, she thinks it's just her imagination. But when her best friend, Mia, and younger brother, Oliver, witness the eerie delays and unnatural grins in the mirrors, they realize something is terribly wrong.
Digging into the house's history, they uncover the chilling story of Margaret Hale, the previous owner who was found dead in front of a mirror-her face frozen in terror. Before her death, she had covered every reflective surface, warning that something was inside them, watching.
As the disturbances grow more sinister, the mirrors begin to crack and whisper. Their reflections stop mimicking them-and start moving on their own. When a shadowy figure steps out of the glass, Ava realizes the truth too late:
The thing in the mirror doesn't just want to be seen.
It wants to take her place.
Now, Ava, Mia, and Oliver must find a way to escape before they're trapped inside the reflections... forever.
