With each passing day, she spirals deeper into the abyss of depression, unable to heal. Jake, her devoted husband, is determined to see her find solace. Yet, despite therapy and medications, Maggie's suffering persists. Relocating seems like the perfect solution—a fresh start in a new home. Jake patiently stands by her side, offering unwavering support as she grapples with her pain. However, as they settle into their new residence, Maggie finds an unorthodox solution to her anguish. While Jake may not believe in ghosts, he plays along, hoping it will bring his wife some semblance of peace. But what begins as a charade soon unravels into a bone-chilling reality. They are not alone.
