Margaret Van Cleef, an aging yet self-assured woman in the modest village of Canata, has always shone brightest in her mind’s mirror. Obsessed with her appearance and status, she weaves webs of manipulation and deceit, using gossip to tarnish reputations and feed her need for control. But her veneer of perfection begins to crack as isolation and envy consume her.

​

Her only companion, a judgmental tabby named Mandy, offers indifferent company as Margaret retreats into her aging, creaky home filled with shadows that seem to watch her every move. Anchored by her antique mirror, the ultimate symbol of her pride, Margaret begins to notice small disturbances––footsteps in empty hallways, whispers in the corners, and objects out of place. What starts as paranoia quickly spirals into a chilling confrontation with the sinister forces that appear to inhabit both her house and her deepest fears.

​

As Margaret’s manipulations wreak havoc on the lives of others, her reflection in the mirror begins to take on a life of its own, revealing distorted, mocking versions of herself. The lines between reality and supernatural terror blur as Margaret’s past sins take form around her. The house groans, the shadows whisper, and her reflection smiles wider and wider, taunting her as her grip on control slips forever out of reach.

​

Ultimately, Margaret is forced to confront the twisted truth of her actions in a house that reflects not just her beauty, but the malice and brokenness festering beneath. Trapped by the very shadow of her vanity, Margaret falls victim to the tormenting darkness she cannot escape, leaving her house a silent monument to the haunting consequences of unchecked greed, cruelty, and pride.
