Reeling from the unexpected death of her husband, Beth is left alone in the lakeside home he built for her, trying her best to keep herself together—but then the dreams come. Disturbing visions of a presence in the house call to her, beckoning with a ghostly allure, but the harsh light of day washes away any proof of a haunting.
