After the sudden death of her guardian, a withdrawn young girl named Ernalina is left alone in a vast, decaying estate that seems to be unraveling along with her sense of safety. The house grows quieter, colder, and wrong in ways that cannot be easily explained. When a distant relative arrives to claim the property and take responsibility for her care, he finds not just a grieving child, but a place heavy with unease and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
As Ernalina struggles to appear ordinary, subtle signs suggest she experiences the world differently-drawn to shadows, unsettled by reflections, and deeply aware of presences others cannot perceive. Nights bring strange visitations and whispered truths, while something darker begins to linger at the edges of the house, growing bolder with time. The new guardian, torn between rational explanations and what he feels in his bones, tries to protect her without fully understanding what threatens them both.
The story unfolds as a gothic tale of grief, fate, and belonging, where love takes unexpected forms and survival itself may carry a hidden cost. As past and present begin to collide, Ernalina is forced toward a reckoning that will determine not only her future, but the true nature of the bond between the living and the dead-without ever making clear which choice is the right one
