A young couple, Liam and Sophie, move into an old mansion inherited from a distant relative. At first, everything seems normal—but they soon notice that some doors simply vanish. Rooms change locations overnight, and hallways seem endless.
The house appears alive, responding to their fears and desires. Liam begins seeing ghostly figures in mirrors; Sophie hears whispers predicting events before they happen. The couple discovers a diary belonging to the original owner, revealing that the house is a testing ground for human will, feeding on fear and indecision.
The climax forces Liam and Sophie to navigate the mansion’s shifting corridors to find a hidden exit before the house consumes their minds entirely.
