In a suburban village, a house belonging to a young family who recently lost their firstborn is burning. Neighbors say that the house bears the mark of a curse, as no one understands how the fire started, and eyewitnesses to the incident each have entirely different versions of what happened. Yet, they all share one thing in common -- the sense of mystery surrounding the house and its inhabitants.
