Beth's mother delivers her final words from her deathbed, words that force Beth and her estranged siblings to return to the house where they grew up. The family has been fracturing for years, bonds severed by distance and old wounds. When they arrive at their childhood home, they discover an old video recording that changes everything. The footage shows a young girl's corpse and their father drenched in blood. The siblings must dig into what really happened while wrestling with the painful memories they've spent years trying to forget. Each revelation pulls them deeper into a web of family secrets that someone has kept buried for decades. As they piece together the truth about that night, Beth and her siblings face a terrible choice between protecting their father and exposing the dark reality of their past.
