The tranquility of their idyllic life is more and more shattered when Frau Benner begins to experience haunting visions. These eerie occurrences leave her husband questioning her sanity and safety within the once-idyllic home. In a desperate bid to save his wife from the encroaching darkness, Benjamin seeks help from his close friend, Dr. Gunther, an American-German psychiatrist living in the region.
