The film follows Maria, an American mother living in Mumbai, who is consumed by guilt after her son Oliver dies in a tragic car accident. Her housekeeper tells her about an ancient, abandoned temple where she can speak to Oliver one last time through a door. Despite the strict warning , Maria's grief drives her to disobey, allowing her son's restless spirit—and other malevolent forces—to cross over into the living world.
