Mia Hall and Joseph Williams, a young couple living in a small bungalow style house in the secluded British countryside just outside of Bibury, with only their pet cat to keep them company. In Joseph's absence while he is visiting family in London, the unemployed Mia's boredom and her fascination with spiritual enlightenment urges her to attempt to create a home-made ouija board, drawing the lettering onto a glass table using a whiteboard marker and a drinking glass as the marker. After being unable to reach any spirits she is disappointed and rubs away the marker telling herself it was a stupid idea, however, after using the board she did not slide the marker to the 'goodbye' lettering. Over the next couple of days, Mia becomes very forgetful, misplacing items all over the house, finding that she has turned the television on but having no recollection of this. She also notices her cats extremely irritable behavior, with outbursts of hissing and violence becoming regular. It gets to a point where Mia begins to suspect an intruder in her house, however after checking thoroughly and realising her isolation she becomes aware that that cannot be possible. Upon Joseph's return Mia informs him of the events, to which he laughs and reassures her that it is unlikely that  there are any problems and even if there were he was now there, providing  more comfort in the presence of another person. Joseph goes straight to bed after his return due to his exhaustion from his long journey, this is when  Mia is then left alone in the main area of the house once more. Mia then witnesses a chair slamming onto the floor and a cupboard fly open, she screams as a result of this and Joseph is woken up, he is angry about this and they procied to have an argument, Mia being called ridiculous. Joseph returns to bed and Mia, hearing the shower turn on goes to investigate the cause where she is overcome by a ghost/spirit who is then in control of her body. The next morning Mia acts overly sweet and normal with Joseph considering their argument the night before, and when he attempts to talk to her about it she avoids the subject of the mysterious movement in the house completely. Over a period of time Joseph begins to notice strange behavior from his girlfriend, including lack of sleep, deteriorating appearance, lack of hygiene in addition to the disappear of their cat. One night, Mia runs to Joseph hysterically telling him that she had heard a noise outside and that she was worried that someone may be trying to break in. Joseph leaves the house with a flashlight and walks around the perimeter of their small house, finding nothing but a small amount of white cat fur stained red with blood caught under a shovel round the back of their house. Joseph returns to the house confused and upset about the found cat fur but also to tell Mia that there was no intruder however she was not where she was when he left, and after looking around she cannot find her at all. In addition, the fuse box had been switched off therefore the lights were not turning on. This is when Mia steps out from behind the open door, her silhouette visible in the moonlight. This is when she murders her boyfriend and proceeds to destroy the house, breaking and ripping apart everything in sight. After a week, the milkman approaches the front door of the house and hears hysterical crying and screaming from within, he peers through the window of the house in order to see if his help is needed which is where Mia is laying on the floor, having completely lost her mind and having killed her boyfriend.
