Experienced in modern-day manipulation, Ellie refuses to be his next victim. A battle of wills ensues, pitting Ellie’s stubborn resilience against a century of calculated terror, as she uncovers the tragic truth behind the haunting and must find a way to break a cycle of loneliness that has lasted generations.
