Marion Abbott is called to Brawders House asylum in New Hampshire, 1865, to collect her sister Alice's body, who has been found dead after falling four stories from a steep-pitched roof. Officially, it is declared an accident, but Marion believes there is a third option: murder. Returning to her family home with her brother and his second wife, Marion is expected to suppress her feelings of guilt and grief and embrace the living. However, the house holds haunting memories, making it difficult for her to let go of the dead.

Just when Marion feels the search for the truth is hopeless, a stranger approaches her with chilling words: "I saw her fall." This newfound determination pushes Marion to uncover the secrets buried with Alice in the family plot, even if it means risking her own life. With no one she can trust, Marion must navigate through the treacherous terrain of her family's past and unearth the truth before it can consume her.
