A young couple move in together, but the woman is convinced that she's been haunted all of her life. The presence that's watched over her has apparently followed her everywhere, including this new house, and the apparition that resides with them seems to have a fond interest in her. Her vain and selfish boyfriend seeks to document the spectacle with his camera & equipment and purposely ignores her pleas to respect the paranormal presence and refrain from taunting it. But as the nights pass, the events in the house become much more harrowing.
