Synopsis
10 years ago tragedy struck, leaving the lives of siblings Tim and Kaylie forever changed when Tim was convicted of the murder of their parents. Now in his 20s, Tim is released from protective custody and wants to move on with his life, but Kaylie is convinced that their deaths were caused by a malevolent supernatural force unleashed through the Lasser Glass, an antique mirror in their childhood home. Determined to prove Tim’s innocence, Kaylie locates the mirror, only to learn similar deaths have befallen previous owners. With the mysterious entity back in their hands, they find their hold on reality shattered by terrifying hallucinations and realize that their nightmare is beginning again.
