Description

Ted and Martha Graham are on the brink of a new life, pregnant and desperate to find a permanent home before the baby arrives. Their search leads them to a remote trailer park where a strange, late‑night phone call summons a mysterious couple, the Rushes, who speak in an unfamiliar, almost musical language. As the Grahams step inside the dimly lit trailer, the ordinary becomes unsettling, and the house itself seems to watch their every move.

The Rushes offer a deal that feels both generous and oddly cryptic, hinting at a house that might have its own desires. Ted, a meticulous accountant, tries to keep the conversation practical, while Martha’s intuition registers something off‑kilter about the strangers and the place. The tension builds as the couple grapples with the question: is this the home they’ve been longing for, or is the house looking for new occupants?
