Eva Tyne is an Irish violinist who has just made her solo debut in New York. However, the night takes a shocking turn when she collapses and is rushed to the hospital. In the aftermath of this life-altering event, Eva finds herself navigating a tumultuous and perilous journey. As she grapples with feelings of jealousy and the haunting presence of her father’s ghost, she becomes entangled in a psychological game that tests her resolve and sanity.

After leaving her steady partner, Eva's life takes an unexpected twist when she falls for a mysterious man.
