Spoilers ahead
Lisa Johnson, the ghost of a teenage girl who becomes aware that she is dead, haunts a house in northern Ontario with a quiet, unsettling presence. Her family—parents and a brother—live there without realizing the truth of their own deaths, and they are trapped in the same day they were murdered in 1985. As Lisa grows more conscious of her spectral state, she discovers an eerie ability: she can reach out to people who exist in different timelines, touching moments that belong to others who inhabited the same house. A pale, ominous man appears to warn her to stop, a chilling reminder that some doors should not be opened.
