Synopsis/Details
Following the tragic death of their parents in a freak car accident, sisters Sophia (21) and Alice (13) are forced to live together until their aunt and the courts can help decide custody. Neither are happy with the situation and their bitter resentment towards an unfair life and circumstances drives an immediate wedge between them. An underlying hatred is born.
It’s summer and Alice has nothing to do but hang out with her cat and Sophia’s bird, which could cause an interesting dynamic. A young boy named Benny (deceased Ben May) visits Alice and they become instant friends. Strange things start to happen in Sophia’s apartment and nobody can explain them, especially the Superintendent who at first thinks it’s all made up. Unexplained freezing rooms, objects moved, sudden brushes on skin, bad odors and the nervousness of the pets all start to make Alice and Sophia very scared.
As Alice and Sophia try to get along and make sense of the strange happenings, their failure is making Benny and his deceased mother, Maggie May grow stronger. And they have a revenge factor in play that runs very deep in Sophia and Alice’s past. The girls learn of the history of their apartment where Maggie suffered from anxiety, depression and other ailments, ultimately taking both their lives.
Sophia calls their priest, they try to capture events on film and slowly begin to work together to stop whatever is plaguing their small apartment. As events unfold and truths are revealed, an unexplained black ooze is forcing the floor to open under Sophia’s bed.
Sophia and Alice are forced to work together and admit their love as sisters in order to ultimately defeat the strong force that is working against them. The showdown with Benny and Maggie will be the ultimate test for love, life and sacrifice.
