An unseen Presence roams through a dark, empty suburban house. A realtor, Cece, shows the house to Rebekah and Chris Payne, and their teenage children, Tyler and Chloe. Rebekah and Chris discuss the move and its implications for Tyler, who will flourish on the new school's swim team, and Chloe, who is emotionally vulnerable after a traumatic event. Chloe explores the house as the Presence follows her. A work crew renovate the house, and some of the crew's members seem to sense the Presence. After the Paynes move in, Rebekah has a phone conversation implying she may be involved in
white-collar crime. She later shares this with Tyler, justifying her actions. Chloe is crying in her room when she senses the Presence and calls out the name of her recently deceased friend, Nadia. Chris expresses concern for Chloe, while Rebekah remains distant. Tyler's new friend Ryan comes over, and Tyler introduces him to Chloe. Ryan, who steals and abuses drugs from his pharmacist father, and Tyler talk about obtaining drugs for a party. The Presence closes Chloe's door, shielding her from the interaction. Tension grows in the family as Rebekah continues showing favoritism to Tyler over Chloe, upsetting Chris. He consults a lawyer friend about whether legal separation would shield someone from liability if their spouse committed a crime. Chloe and Ryan grow closer. They use drugs and talk in her room. Chloe discusses her grief over Nadia and another girl she knew, while Ryan shares his lifelong struggle with control. They begin to kiss, but the Presence interrupts by knocking down a shelf. At dinner, Chloe reveals that she has been sensing the Presence. Tyler mocks her, leading to a heated argument. Tyler accuses Chris of always taking Chloe's side and questions her grip on reality, but Chris defends her. Tyler casually recounts to Rebekah that he and his friends
catfished a female classmate to obtain a nude photo. Rebekah laughs this off until Chloe interrupts, showing them the photo on her phone and accusing Tyler of leaking it online. The Presence wrecks Tyler's room as the whole family watches. The family retreat outside. Chloe insists the
poltergeist is Nadia and means no harm, but Tyler lashes out at her. Chris defends Chloe. Cece reassures him that no one has died in the house, which she would be legally obligated to mention. She refers him to her sister-in-law, Lisa, a psychic medium. Lisa visits and explains that the Presence seems confused and is possibly experiencing time non-linearly but means no harm. Rebekah and Tyler are skeptical. Chloe and Ryan have sex, after which he secretly spikes her drink. Before Chloe can drink it, the Presence spills it. Chris tells Chloe he believes her about the Presence and will always support her. Lisa returns and warns Chris that she believes the Presence is there to prevent a future event. The Presence's physical influence wanes. Chris confides in Rebekah that he considered divorce, and they reconcile before leaving on a business trip. The Presence approaches a drunken Tyler, who appears to sense it but gets distracted by Ryan's arrival. Ryan drugs Tyler's drink, leaving him unconscious in the living room, and brings another spiked drink to Chloe. Chloe refuses to have sex, but Ryan pressures her into drinking, incapacitating her. He begins suffocating her with plastic wrap, bragging that he killed Nadia and the other girl the same way, staging both as overdoses. The Presence, unable to intervene, moves downstairs and tries to wake Tyler, who barely responds before eventually rushing upstairs. He tackles Ryan, causing both to crash through Chloe's bedroom window and fall to their deaths. Some time later, as the family is preparing to move out of the house, Rebekah senses the Presence and follows it to a mirror in the living room. She sees Tyler in the reflection and breaks down, realizing his spirit was stuck in a time loop and had come back to save his sister. As Chris and Chloe gather around her, the Presence ascends into the sky. == Cast ==
