Psychotherapist Cynthia Winstone has a unique gift for penetrating other people's subconscious. One day, a terrified 14-year-old Riley shows up on her doorstep asking to be rescued from an evil entity. Cynthia immediately sees the creepy creature clinging to her and decides not to get involved, but her daughter Jordan, on the contrary, is determined to help. She sneaks into Riley's house and discovers a tormented, bound woman in the basement.
