Welcome home. They've been waiting.

Just married. New house. Sponsored abroad. Raven feels like she finally has her life together when a broken leg from a cage-diving accident leaves her housebound.

Eye-deep in medical debt, she and her husband, Ethan, are forced into an old rental on the fringe of a small country town, where community ties are stronger than blood.

While Ethan works as much overtime as he can, Raven is left alone in the ramshackle house.

It starts with strange noises. Her belongings go missing. There's the unshakeable feeling she's being watched. Something or someone seems to take pleasure in her fear.

Could the shut-in recluse a few doors up have something to do with it?

Only when the nosy neighbour reveals the little town of Burnsley was the stage for a tragedy several years earlier does Raven begin putting together the pieces.

The house has a secret, one Raven will have to solve if she has any chance of escaping with her sanity.
