The plot centers on Maria (Sarah Wayne Callies), a mother who is devastated after the tragic death of her young son, Oliver. She and her family move to a remote estate in India, hoping to rebuild their lives. However, Maria is tormented by the loss of her son and hears about a local ritual that promises a chance to say goodbye to the dead. The ritual involves a door that, when opened, allows the living to speak to the spirits of the deceased. In her grief and desperation, Maria decides to attempt the ritual, but there are dire consequences. The door that connects the living and the dead comes with a strict warning: once the door is opened, the spirit of the dead cannot return, and failure to follow the rules will invite sinister forces into the world of the living. Ignoring the warning, Maria opens the door and communicates with Oliver, only to unknowingly invite something far darker into her life.
