On an abandoned piece of property lies a sinister secret that Kevan Renee must never uncover. As a renowned artist, Kevan spends her life burying the traumas of her past, vowing never to revisit that time. The only solace she finds is the love of her Gammie Frances and the unwavering support of her best friend, Beth.
Nathan Hill is tormented by the disappearance of his little sister for over two decades. His existence is defined by his search for the truth, yet his life remains simple as he cares for his rich, cantankerous godmother.
When Gammie Frances passes away, Kevan's world is upended. She inherits the long-forgotten property and now holds a key that she doesn't want to her haunting past. She is soon drawn back to this place and quickly discovers that she and Gammie had been there often during her childhood. At first, the memories awakened by her return appear innocent and nostalgic, but quickly shift to restless nights and chilling nightmares. These enigmatic themes are rooted in her artwork. Among the haunting visions, one figure stands out-a lone little girl standing beside a still pond. As Kevan and Nathan both delve deeper into the past, they must confront the truths that have held them captive for far too long.
