Laura spent the happiest years of her childhood growing up in an orphanage by the seaside, cared for by the staff and fellow orphans whom she loved as brothers and sisters. Now, thirty years later, she returns with her husband Carlos and Simon, their 7-year-old son, with a dream of restoring and reopening the long-abandoned orphanage as a home for disabled children. The new home and mysterious surroundings awaken Simon’s imagination and the boy starts to spin a web of fantastic tales and not-so-innocent games... A troubling web that begins to disturb Laura, drawing her into the child’s strange universe which resonates with echoes of long-forgotten, deeply unsettling memories of her own childhood. As the opening day draws near, tension builds within the family. Carlos remains sceptical, believing that Simon is making everything up in a desperate bid for attention. But Laura slowly becomes convinced that something long-hidden and terrible is lurking in the old house, something waiting to emerge and inflict appalling damage on her family.

Sur un coup de coeur, deux frères s'offrent un voilier qu'ils baptisent "Cassandra's Dream". Une vraie folie car ni l'un ni l'autre n'ont réellement les moyens d'assumer ce signe extérieur de richesse. Terry travaille dans un garage tandis que Ian dirige le restaurant de leurs parents. Lorsque le premier est confronté à une importante dette de jeu et que le second s'éprend d'Angela, ambitieuse comédienne de théâtre, ils sont obligés de solliciter l'aide de leur oncle Howard qui a fait fortune en Californie. En contrepartie de son solide coup de pouce financier, il leur demande de lui rendre un petit service.
