“你无法放下它。”——凯文·威尔逊

在母亲突然去世后，艾娃要去跨国与她的亲戚一起生活。但她的祖母莱恩似乎对一个十几岁的女孩没有太多的留恋，在痴迷的绘画过程中几乎不承认艾娃。唯y来过的人是莱恩的助手奥利弗，他正在处理自己的问题。

随着夏天的到来，艾娃开始感觉到她祖母的房子里有什么东西很不对劲。为什么莱恩与艾娃的母亲疏远了，她现在是否失去了理智？危险会不会在奥利弗身上？或者，在他们的过去有一些更黑暗的东西，这些东西可能回来摧毁他们所有人？

After the sudden death of her mother, Ava finds herself headed cross-country to live with the only relative she has left. But Lane, her grandmother, doesn't seem to have much room in her heart for a teenage girl, barely acknowledging Ava between obsessive painting sessions. The only other person who comes around is Lane's assistant, Oliver, who's dealing with issues of his own.

As the summer goes on, Ava begins to get a sense that something is very wrong in her grandmother's house. Why was Lane estranged from Ava's mother, and is she now losing her mind? Could the danger lie with Oliver? Or, is there something darker in their past, something which could come back to destroy them all?
