Synopsis/Details

When grieving widower Norman Bennett hires a psychic to help his emotionally unraveling son, he doesn’t expect her to uncover something far worse than a ghost.

Wraithmore House is not haunted -- it’s being infiltrated.

Fourteen-year-old Trent has been seeing visions of his dead sister. He hears her voice. He sees her in mirrors. His behavior shifts, and soon, so does his reflection. His father believes it’s trauma. But Veronica Lynch, the psychic, knows better.

There’s a Mimic inside the house -- an ancient, demonic entity that doesn’t haunt places, but people. It watches. It learns. And then it becomes. The Mimic uses grief as a gateway, wearing the faces of the dead to replace the living. It doesn’t want to scare you. It wants to be you.

As power flickers, phones die, and loved ones reappear with inhuman eyes, the family’s only weapon is truth -- and even that may not be enough. Veronica urges them to confront the thing hiding behind their memories. But the Mimic is done pretending. Now it fights back.

One by one, it isolates, imitates, and attacks -- twisting identity, warping reality, and turning love into a weapon. As the house descends into chaos, Norman is forced to fight for his son’s soul -- and for his own.

But in a place where nothing you see can be trusted, survival comes down to one question:

Can you tell who’s still real?
