Synopsis

Fisher Parke is consumed by guilt after the drowning death of his young son, Josh. His marriage unravels with the shared guilt, strained by Fisher’s reckless spending on failed attempts to reach Josh through psychics.

But when a Russian mystic finally hears the boy, he suffers a violent seizure, delivering only a cryptic address of a remote house.

Fisher moves in and discovers the house was built with Sacred Geometry - behaving like a living, shifting entity, distorting reality and concealing a sinister purpose. 

Witnessing Josh’s soul dragged into another dimension, Fisher must now descend deeper into its impossible architecture, sacrificing his sanity and confronting the dark legacy of the house’s creator in order to save his son.
