In a quaint New England village, the Glynn siblings gather to mourn the unexpected death of their brother Henry. As they convene in the dimly lit family home, old tensions and secrets begin to surface, intertwining with an unsettling presence that lurks within the house. The siblings soon discover eerie shadows cast upon the walls—shadows that seem to move of their own volition, whispering untold tales of the past. As the family grapples with their own guilt and grief, the mysterious shadows grow darker, revealing a truth more sinister than any of them could have imagined.

When Edward Glynn dies suddenly in the family home, the surviving siblings gather in mourning—yet grief quickly gives way to dread.

Caroline, Rebecca, and Emma Glynn struggle to hold themselves together as the tension among them thickens, suspicions grow sharper, and their brother Henry’s behavior turns increasingly frantic. What is the shadow? Why does it look like Edward?
