The film follows Will Atenton, a successful editor who quits his job in New York City and moves with his wife, Libby, and their two young daughters to a peaceful house in the suburbs. The new home is meant to be a fresh start—a place where they can live quietly and happily as a family. But soon after settling in, strange and unsettling events begin to occur.
Will notices shadowy figures outside the house, mysterious noises in the night, and an increasing sense that something is deeply wrong. As he investigates, he discovers a shocking truth: the house was the site of a brutal murder, where a mother and her two daughters were killed. Even more disturbing, the locals seem to believe that the killer is none other than Will himself.
Driven to uncover what really happened, Will embarks on a journey that leads him to question everything he thought he knew—about his family, his past, and even his own identity. As memories resurface and hidden secrets come to light, the line between reality and illusion begins to blur.
