About
A small, secluded place in the depths of the Black Forest. Two girls disappear from the same house. The first girl in 1945, the second in 1999. They never reappear. When Jessie inherits the house, she realizes too late the danger lurking in the darkness of the house for her and her daughter Mila. A danger that has arisen from the rift that has run through her German-Chinese family for generations. And the ghosts of the past do not rest.
