“I’m in your blood, and you are in mine…”

The Netherlands, 1887: Lucy is deeply worried about her twin sister, Sarah, who is not herself. Sarah refuses food, mutters strange phrases, and seems fixated on a centuries-old corpse recently unearthed at her husband’s ancestral estate. The local physician claims Sarah suffers temporary madness brought by an inflammation of the brain. Determined to shield Sarah from confinement in an asylum, Lucy desperately searches for answers to the mysterious illness plaguing her sister. But Lucy senses that Sarah is keeping secrets, and Lucy harbors disturbing secrets of her own.

Soon, things take a dark, terrifying turn when Sarah’s behavior becomes increasingly violent and disturbingly hungry. Lucy fears her sister is battling possession by something monstrous—or perhaps sliding into madness. As Sarah changes into something unrecognizable, Lucy must confront demons from the darkest corners of reality, or risk losing her beloved sister forever.
