In the quiet village of Garmouth, the dead refuse to stay buried. A grieving father glimpses his late son's face in a window. A young woman feels a spectral presence in her home. And a group of children stumble upon a chilling secret in the woods. As the supernatural intrudes on the everyday, the townspeople must confront the ghosts of their pasts and the mysteries that bind them to the other side. At the heart of these uncanny tales lies a poignant exploration of grief, memory, and the power of the unseen to shape the living.
