Synopsis

An American film producer named Marie returns to her homeland, Russia, where her mother's dead body has been found under bizarre circumstances. She never knew her, having been adopted and brought to America as a baby. The only clue as to what might have happened is an isolated, abandoned farm in the mountains that supposedly belong to her natural parents.

Being the only next of kin, she inherits the place, but no one will take her there as the local superstitions state that the area is damned. Only one man will embark on such a dangerous and long journey, a stranger that oddly seems to know quite a bit about her history. Once arrived the guide mysteriously disappears, forcing Marie to explore the derelict location alone.

She discovers someone else on the property a man named Nikolai, who claims to have been lured there exactly in the same manner, so he could discover the truth behind his unknown past as well.

They become stranded in the immense compound, plagued by terrifying, ghostly visions of the ghosts that marauder between the buildings in the night.

Time begins to move in reverse as history re-lives itself in front of their very eyes. A cycle of horror comes to fruition, as they are shown the reason they have been summoned for this perverse reunion and the brutal secret behind their family.
