In 1956, during a chilling Christmas gathering at a family home, an unseen assailant commits a horrific act, stabbing a victim to death. The scene becomes even more unsettling as a bloody knife clatters to the ground, perilously close to a child’s feet.

Fast forward twenty years later in Turin, the diligent Professor Giordani presides over a parapsychology conference featuring the enigmatic psychic medium, Helga Ulmann. In the midst of her presentation, Helga is suddenly overcome with a dark sensation, sensing the “twisted, perverted, murderous” thoughts of an audience member. After the conference, she confides in Giordani about her alarming revelation, completely unaware that a shadowy observer lurks nearby.
