Totem

A family home where Kellie, Abby, and their father James reside after Lexy’s death. The house holds a hidden menace as a mysterious totem begins moving objects and channels the mother's memory. The film also visits a nearby track field with bleachers, where Kellie briefly encounters a terrifying vision, and it ends with the trio in a remote, deserted tiny house that signals a fragile attempt at safety.

🔮 Haunting

A supernatural presence threads through the family home, manifesting as the totem and visions that blur the line between the living and the dead. The haunting destabilizes normal family life and forces confrontations about trust, memory, and power within the household.

💔 Grief

The death of Lexy casts a long shadow over Kellie and Abby, shaping their reactions to the stranger (Robin) moving in and to the strange behavior surrounding the totem. Grief drives dangerous dynamics as the daughters cling to unresolved memories while the father struggles to protect them.

⚖️ Power

Control becomes a central currency as Kellie leverages the totem to shape family dynamics, while others resist or fear its consequences. The struggle highlights how vulnerability can be weaponized and how fragile authority can become when the supernatural intervenes.

🔎 Secrets

Hidden histories—Robin's past with the mother, Bernard's knowledge, and Kellie's true intentions—surface as the family confronts the mystery. The tension comes from what is known, what is believed, and what each character is willing to do to protect their version of the truth.
