Follows the lives of the Crawley family and their servants in the family's Edwardian country house

An artist and her elderly mother confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past.

Andrea Riseborough is spellbinding as the distraught mother, haunted by the death of her young daughter, who develops an all-consuming obsession over the neighbor’s girl who she believes is the reincarnation of her child.

When new neighbors move in, Laura (Riseborough) is awakened from her mundane daily routine of errands and exercise. She becomes transfixed by their young daughter, Megan (Niamh Dornan). Megan’s parents Marie (Eileen O’Higgins) and Chris (Martin McCann), initially don’t seem to mind as Laura offers Megan a ride home from school and an invitation to dinner.

Her husband Brendon (Jonjo O’Neill) grows concerned as his wife’s infatuation with the young girl spirals into increasingly erratic behavior. Eerily, Megan seemingly knows far too many specific details of their family life and displays similar mannerisms of their dead daughter.

Is the trauma of losing her child causing Laura to lose grip on reality, or is Megan truly the reincarnation of her daughter?
