Then the story follows a woman who's mourning the loss of her husband and she accepts an invitation to stay with her late husband's family, hoping a change of scenery might help her heal. But instead, a gathering meant to provide comfort becomes something way worse as an ancient evil begins spreading throughout the household, forcing her to question who can still be trusted.
