This contemporary gothic horror explores the dark secrets hidden within a seemingly beautiful house. As Libby and her family navigate their new home, they discover a sinister past and eerie masks that hold the key to unraveling its mysteries. With Libby's recent bipolar III diagnosis and the tragedy they've endured, finding a new normal is essential. However, the bugs that haunt the halls, the insectile stained-glass windows, and the rumors of disappearances linked to the house challenge their fresh start.
