Her father commits suicide, while her mother and two older sisters spend the rest of their lives at the lake house, maintaining a relentless vigil for their lost child. Sixty years later, Lucy, the middle sister, resides alone in the lake house. Before her passing, she leaves a notebook detailing the tragic summer, along with the house, to her grandniece, Justine. Justine finds solace and stability in the lake house, seeking to escape her manipulative boyfriend and provide a better home for her daughters. However, the harsh Minnesota winter sets in, enveloping the house in coldness and dilapidation. The eerie, silent lake isolates Justine, with only a mysterious old man as her neighbor, who seems to hold secrets from the summer of 1935. As the winter deepens, Justine's troubled oldest daughter becomes consumed by Emily's disappearance, her absent mother reappears, and the man she left behind initiates a dangerous scheme to reclaim her. Trapped within the house haunted by the sorrows of the women who came before her, Justine must confront their tragic legacy and overcome it if she hopes to save herself and her children from the looming dangers that threaten their existence.
