Story Guide
Episode 1
Three in the morning. Diane Keller senses something wrong behind her, a cold crawling up her spine. She turns slowly in the moonlight and sees her eighteen-year-old son, eyes wide open, locked on the bedroom door, forehead soaked in cold sweat. In the gap beneath the door: a pair of feet. They belong to no one in the house.
Diane has raised her son alone since her husband died thirteen years ago. Money was tight, but she thought there were no secrets between them—until that ordinary Thursday. Her son, a legal adult now, sits on the couch staring at his phone. Then he asks, voice dry, "Mom, can I sleep in your room tonight?"
Episode 2
Her son takes the side of the bed by the door. The room goes quiet, but Diane can tell he isn't sleeping—his body tight, his breathing shallow, like a small animal keeping watch. A cold she can't describe pulls her back awake.
In the thin moonlight she sees her son's face: eyes wide, forehead beaded with sweat. He isn't looking at her. He's staring at the bedroom door. Diane follows his gaze, stiff as wood, and sees it too—a pair of feet standing in the gap beneath the door, motionless, watching.
His freezing hand clamps over her mouth. Against her ear, trembling on breath alone, he whispers four words: "Let's go back."
Episode 3
Neither of them sleeps. The feet stand outside the door all night, vanishing only when the sky turns pale. In the morning, her son finally confesses. It started in the second half of junior year—noises, then a pen moving on its own, laundry falling from the balcony. He hid it all rather than worry her.
Six months ago, he saw someone at his father's desk: a figure in his father's gray jacket, the build identical. The ghost wanders the house at night, sometimes watching him sleep. But last week, it changed. Cold. Sizing him up. Two nights ago, it stood by his bed holding the claw hammer from the toolbox.
Episode 4
Diane breaks down, holding her son as hard as she can. Six months of facing his dead father alone—and now the ghost has escalated. He admits he came to her room scared, hoping two of them together might keep it away. It came anyway, standing outside the door in his father's leather shoes.
Calling the police would be useless. Moving costs money they don't have. Then, in broad daylight, a faint scraping sound drifts from the study—soft, rhythmic, almost like an invitation.
Her son steps in front of his mother, voice shaking as he tries to comfort her. The scraping continues, patient and wrong, daring them to come look.
Episode 5
Diane decides they can't hide anymore. Her son runs to the kitchen and comes back with a cleaver, pressing it into her hands. Step by step, they cross the few yards to the study—it feels like a century. The scratching stops without warning, and the silence is worse.
He raises a bat, nods to her, and turns the knob. A stale, dusty cold rolls out. The study is dim, curtains drawn—and empty. Everything sits exactly where it always has.
Except one thing: an old family photo, face down in its frame. Diane picks it up. A deep scratch runs across it, forehead to chin. Not her imagination. A message.
Episode 6
Diane forces herself calm. Her husband loved her and loved their son—there has to be a reason he's come back. She tears the study apart, searching for anything that doesn't belong.
Her son, crouched under the desk, finds a panel a shade lighter than the rest. Behind it: a hidden compartment holding a brown envelope. Inside are photos of a woman Diane has never seen, holding a newborn, and hospital bills dated eighteen years ago. On the payer's signature line: her husband's name.
Then he unfolds a different sheet—a $500,000 accidental death policy. The beneficiary isn't Diane. It isn't her son. It's the woman in the photograph. A thought begins forming: her husband's death wasn't an accident.
