On the third floor of the Duggan Mansion, nothing is ever empty. Every room is curated, every shadow is watching, and every surface remembers. When Meg Danner and her reckless best friend Kendra move into an impossibly beautiful apartment at an impossibly low rent, it feels like a miracle. It isn't. A girl is savagely attacked by something that reaches through mirrors, a photograph reveals a hand that shouldn't exist, and Meg begins drawing a man she has never met but somehow recognizes. As the mansion's history closes in, Meg realizes the house is not haunted in any ordinary sense. It is choosing, shaping, and feeding, and whatever lives behind its walls has been waiting a very long time for someone exactly like her.
