When elderly matriarch Edna goes missing from her decaying, labyrinthine family home, her daughter Kay (Emily Mortimer) and granddaughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) rush to the isolated property to search for her.

As a strange, mold-like blemish begins to spread through the walls of the house, Kay and Sam are forced to confront not only the terrifying physical deterioration of their loved one, but also the haunting emotional relics of their own fraught family history. Directed by Natalie Erika James, this chilling psychological horror film masterfully weaves a palpable sense of dread with a poignant exploration of dementia and inherited trauma, trapping three generations of women in a suffocating nightmare where the house itself seems to breathe with a malevolent life of its own.
