When Annie is unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend, she seeks a fresh start and moves from Manhattan to a small picturesque village upstate. There, Annie meets Sophie. Beautiful, charming, magnetic Sophie takes a special interest in Annie and wants to be her friend. Annie can't help but gravitate towards the self-possessed Sophie, despite the fact that the rest of the townsfolk seem a little afraid of her. And, okay, Sophie's appearance is uncanny and ageless, her mansion in the middle of the woods feels a little unearthly, and she does seem to wield a certain power... but she couldn't be... could she?.
