After her grandmother dies, 22-year-old Elena inherits an old house in a small coastal town. She hasn't been there since she was a child, and her family refuses to talk about why they left.
When Elena moves in, she notices something strange: the house changes slightly every night.
When Elena moves in, she notices something strange: the house changes slightly every night.
A hallway that was six feet long becomes twenty feet. A window appears where there wasn't one before. Family photographs change, showing people Elena doesn't recognize. Then she discovers a locked room hidden behind a bookshelf.
Inside are dozens of objects—old shoes, watches, photographs, children's toys, letters—each labeled with a date and a person's name. One of the names is her own. The date is tomorrow.

As Elena investigates, she learns that the house has belonged to her family for generations. Every few decades, someone in the family disappears, and the house seems to "remember" them by keeping an object that belonged to them. Elena realizes her grandmother didn't leave her the house as an inheritance. She left it to her because the house has chosen its next person. And tomorrow, according to the objects in the locked room, is the day Elena disappears.
