A haunted house. A mysterious voice on the phone.
Marian thinks she made it big. At least on the surface, it seems she has. She lives in a big city, has an enormous penthouse all to herself, and has found immense success as an actress. Though sometimes, she still thinks about the big house by the sea, with the chipped blue key and the monster lurking in the shadows. When a voice calls her on the phone, Marian has to decide what it is she truly wants: to continue living a lie or confront the past she has been running from all her life.
