Shattered by the death of their daughter, a grieving couple retreat to a remote farm they've unexpectedly inherited. But isolation gives way to obsession when they encounter a mysterious cult that promises contact with the dead. As rituals intensify and unearthly forces begin to manifest, the couple are pulled into a waking nightmare where grief becomes a gateway -- and the cost of reunion may demand far more than they're willing to pay.
