Spoilers ahead

Ulysses Pick leads a violent break-in into his former home, forcing its way through a police cordon with a hostage and a stuffed wolverine named Crispy in tow. The crew’s second-in-command, Big Ed, tries to take control and eject the recently deceased gangsters who nevertheless seem to roam as if alive, demanding they identify themselves with a chilling command: Those of you who have been killed, stand facing the wall. The tension inside the house thickens as the story’s voice-over narrator, the ghostly Calypso, hints that something deeper and haunted lies within these walls. The house is not just empty space; it bears sorrow that lingers long after the inhabitants have moved on.
