Jack (Aussie Dacre Montgomery) travels to New Zealand for the funeral of his estranged mother, Elizabeth, from whom he was separated by social services as a child. Though Jack claims he was invited by his mother's widow, Jill (Vicky Krieps), she has no recollection of doing so. Nevertheless, Jill invites Jack to stay in her austere South Island home, an architectural marvel designed by her dead wife. As night falls, it becomes clear that Elizabeth's malevolent spirit lingers in the space - and that she has unfinished business with both of them…
