Emma Leeden is an author who recently lost her husband and two children during a home invasion.
A year after the incident, Emma is still deeply scarred by the events and keeps away from the public in a fortified home.
When she decides to detail the horrific experience in her new book, Invasion, her manager arranges a staged reading to generate press and hires a medium, Sky Brown (Chasity Sereal), to lead.
