Young psychologist Sara receives patients at home, in an office set up above the garage. The big old house has been inherited by her ambitious and overworked husband Sigurd, and it is undergoing endless renovations.
But both the work and the renovations are progressing steadily. Until one day, Sigurd leaves a confusing message on Sara's answering machine and disappears. The old unfinished house is in shambles. Things disappear and reappear, and are those footsteps that Sara hears from the attic at night? As the terrible truth becomes clear, Sara finds it increasingly difficult to cope with her own life and thoughts. Can she trust her memory? As an expert in interpreting other people's emotions, can she still see her own feelings? And can she ever feel safe anywhere?
