Sadie Jenkins had everything she ever wanted: a burgeoning painting career on the cusp of major success, a loving and supportive fiancรฉ, and a child on the way. However, a devastating car accident stole it all from her in a single night. Overwhelmed by grief, Sadie experiences a profound loss of self, finding her artistic abilities inexplicably gone. Unable to cope with the constant reminders of her loss from family, friends, and even her therapistโs well-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful sessions, Sadie impulsively purchases a secluded house sight unseen purely based on the fact that the house had once belonged to a celebrated painter from a bygone era. Alone in her new, isolated surroundings and consumed by depression, Sadie reaches a breaking point one night, crying out into the darkness for a companion, for someone โ anyone โ to help her rediscover her lost muse and reignite her artistic passion. Her call is answered.
