As Adrian leaves to conduct an orchestra concert tour for three months across Europe, BelĂ©n mysteriously vanishes. In her absence, Adrian discovers that she had been hiding secrets about her past from him. He begins to investigate BelĂ©n’s disappearance but soon realizes he’s being haunted by an unknown malevolent force that has taken over the mansion.
The plot thickens as he hires Fabiana (Martina GarcĂa), a beautiful young pianist who auditioned for him recently as his housekeeper.

This revelation leads Adrian down a terrifying path where nothing is what it seems.
