Synopsis
Set in a ruined church perched on a cliff in Lowestoft, England, two sisters, Nadia and Valisha, reunite to fulfil the final wishes of their youngest sister, Ruby, whose death has left their relationship fractured. As old memories resurface, they encounter a young man, Declan, who has sought refuge in the abandoned church. Things become unsettling when their understanding of life, death and faith are challenged. As the boundaries between the living and the dead begin to blur, the sisters are forced to confront their past and the consequences of leaving things unsaid.
