Reinvigorated by the painting's alluring presence, Donny finally begins to defeat his writer's block. But something is changing in the painting. Something is changing in the house.

Something is watching...

As events grow more terrifying and surreal, Donny finds himself not only fighting to write, but fighting for his life and his sanity. What starts as a tale of haunted houses grows into a twisted and unpredictable psychological horror...
