Haunting of Hill House meets
found-footage horror in this edge-of-your-seat thriller that explores the power of family ties and the trauma that lurks there.

When Sophia Galich was twelve,
she starred in her older sister Layla’s amateur horror movie Vermillion, which
recorded raw footage of her very real reactions to scenes her sister concocted
in their old Californian house on the coast–Cashore House.

In the years after the film’s release, Sophia’s relationship with her sister
became more strained, while her memories of the now-infamous house fueled her
nightmares. Vermillion amassed an army of fanatical fans who speculated about
the film’s hidden messages, and it was rumored that Layla made a pact with the
devil–her soul in exchange for fame and arcane knowledge. Sophia dismissed
this as gossip…until Layla disappeared.

Now, Sophia must study the trail of clues Layla has left behind, returning to
the very place where it all began. As she gets closer and closer to Cashore
House’s haunted heart, she must once again confront the ghosts of her
childhood. But the house won’t reveal its secrets without a fight.
