Ten years ago, when they were kids, Zach’s sister drowned in their backyard pool. Following that tragedy, his mom (Ellenberger) became too unstable to take care of him and Zach moved out with his dad (Alfonso) to live. For the first time since the death of his sister, Zach (Martin) returns to his childhood home to get it ready for sale. While there, he uncovers an old toy phone he once used to “talk” to his dead sister. Years of counseling convinced him it was all in his head until an unexpected call comes through the plastic phone, setting off a series of terrifying events, and making him question what, and who, is real.
