Heo Jin

Grandmother Wang (Heo Jin) is fabulously rich, but is suffering from dementia. Bo Young (Park Ha Na), a young mother, knows that Grandmother Wang has a collection of expensive jewelry. Mrs. Wang’s isolated, decaying mansion is situated deep in the countryside, next to a lake. Bo Young is struggling financially and hatches a plan to gain access to the mansion...and make away with the jewelry.

She does so by posing as a caregiver to Grandmother Wang, and gaining the trust of Mother Kim (Jeong Young Joo), Grandmother Wang’s only living relative. Mother Kim says she will hire Bo Young to work in the house – but warns her not to bring anyone “especially a child” with her. Bo Young dismisses these warnings as superstitious nonsense and sneaks her daughter into the house regardless. But when horrific things begin to happen at the house – and the lake – Bo Young begins to worry for her child’s safety...
