Synopsis

Every house has secrets, but not all of them stay buried forever. When the Burgess family move into their supposed forever home, Steph and Grant settle in quickly with their children, Charlie and Amelia.

Then they receive an unexpected visit from a couple who claim to have lived in the house before, and Steph finds herself drawn into a chilling unravelling of the property's hidden past. As the family begin renovations, unsettling remnants surface, culminating in the discovery of a concealed wall bearing disturbing messages.

Digging deeper, Steph uncovers the house's dark connection to an unsolved crime and is pulled into a race against time to confront truths that threaten her family's safety and peace of mind.

An addictive, gripping psychological thriller, it mines the familiar dread of a new home turned sinister, using the previous occupants and the secrets in the walls to escalate ordinary domestic life into menace.
