SYNOPSIS:

Synopsis

Ana, a 29-year-old half-Puerto Rican woman, travels with her journalist partner, Alex, to a remote coastal house in Puerto Rico that she’s mysteriously inherited from her late grandmother. The house is crumbling, shrouded in vines and silence, hemmed in by an encroaching jungle and an uneasy sea.

Their arrival feels wrong. The driver abandons them at the locked gate. Alex can't open it, but when Ana approaches it, the gate swings open. The imbalance is subtle, but it lingers.

Beyond the gate stands a Spirit House - La Casita Espiritual, tended by Rosa, an ageless caretaker who appears without warning and vanishes just as suddenly. She warns Ana about boundaries, bloodlines, and debts that never die.

What begins as a quiet retreat curdles into dread. Voices whisper in the wind. Mirrors catch movements that don’t belong. They wake up to find dusty rooms are spotless, breakfast laid out — though no one cooked or cleaned. The house isn’t empty; it’s waking up.

Drawn deeper into its rhythm, Mia finds a red dress in her closet that fits her perfectly. A little girl appears on the beach, then vanishes into the surf. In a trance, Mia walks into the ocean and nearly drowns. Each day she feels lighter, hollowed out — as if something ancient is blooming inside her.

The house itself begins to shift. Doors lock. Rooms rearrange. The air thickens with memory. Alex uncovers a local legend — a ghost bride named The Klong, a spirit bound to the land, cursed to relive her abandonment through the women of her bloodline. Alex begins to fear Ana isn’t just in danger — she’s becoming someone else.

A blank photo album fills with images of Ana in the red dress — photos Alex never took. Inside the Spirit House, the goddess figure is now visibly pregnant, her face unmistakably Mia’s. And Mia, suddenly inexplicably pregnant and speaking in a language Alex doesn’t recognize, insists she must stay.

When Alex tries to flee, the path folds back on itself — every path returns him to La Casita Espiritual and the same locked gate. Time collapses. The jungle breathes. The house hums like a heartbeat.

In the end, Alex realizes Ana wasn’t summoned to inherit her grandmother’s estate, but to fulfill her bloodline’s ancient bargain. To save her, he must defy a force older than death itself — even as the Klong rises from the depths, demanding the one thing she’s waited centuries to reclaim: a life for a life.
