Japanese Gothic

In a house hidden behind thickets of wild ginger and sword ferns, two individuals separated by nearly 150 years find themselves inexplicably bound together.

In October 2026, Lee Turner flees New York after the violent, blurred murder of his college roommate. Seeking refuge at his father's remote home in Japan, Lee quickly realizes the sanctuary is deeply unnerving—wild animals avoid the grounds, strange visions shift beyond the bedroom glass, and a sword-wielding woman wanders the yard at dusk. In October 1877, Sen, a young samurai in exile, lives in that very same house, desperate to earn the approval of a father warped by war. When a foreign man suddenly materializes outside her window, Sen recognizes it as a fatal omen of her family's impending doom.

As their timelines collide through an unearthly portal, Lee and Sen must navigate a labyrinth of Japanese folklore, deceptive memories, and haunting truths: one of them is a ghost, one of their histories is a lie, and the ancient entity buried beneath the soil is beginning to wake.
