A young girl tells the story of her neighbors, a family with a father who believed the planets were disappearing. His fear grew worse, their house got stranger, and in the end, they all died.

Elise, long estranged from her mother Megan, visits her as she lies on her deathbed. Her mother recounts a life-changing moment from the early 80s, her father’s devastating diagnosis and a serial killer stalking the town. Elise reconstructs her mother’s memories, drawing them closer as the night unfolds.
