Following the mysterious death of her estranged father, a reclusive artist, Anya returns to her childhood home, a remote estate steeped in unsettling memories. As she navigates the labyrinthine mansion and deciphers her father's cryptic final artwork, Anya uncovers a buried family secret that blurs the lines between reality, dreams, and a terrifying legacy.
