Spoilers ahead
As a wildfire edges closer to a quiet rural town in central Oregon, two adult sisters, Angela and Emma, grieve their mother who has just died after a long illness in her own home. The family’s sorrow is shaded by a strange rumor that comes via a psychic—a claim that their mother could be resurrected if they keep her body inside the house. Angela is skeptical, but Emma clings to the idea and persuades her sister to wait before calling authorities. The notion of bringing the dead back to life becomes a strange and unsettling undertone to their daily routines as the fire rages nearby.
