Synopsis

After her mother's suspicious death, reclusive artist Lila Voss inherits the sprawling, once-glorious Thorne Hall. Every mirror in the house reflects not her face but the ornate-dressed ghosts of her female ancestors, each begging to be remembered before they fade forever. As Lila restores the mansion, the women grow stronger, forcing her to choose between erasing their pain or surrendering her own life to preserve their stories.

Cold open

INT. THORNE HALL - GRAND FOYER - NIGHT

Rain lashes the stained-glass windows. LILA VOSS, 28, soaked, pushes open the massive oak doors. Moonlight slices across a towering portrait of a woman in black lace. Lila sets down her suitcase. She turns to the nearest mirror: ornate gilt frame, eight feet tall.

Her reflection is missing. Instead, a woman in Victorian mourning attire stares back, lips moving in silent plea. Lila steps closer. The figure raises a hand to the glass. Lila's fingers meet icy cold. A single drop of blood appears on the mirror's surface, tracing the name "ELEANOR."

Lila yanks her hand away. The reflection smiles, revealing too many teeth.
