However, a tragedy complicates Abigail's life, prompting her to conceal her struggles from Simon for fear of losing him. When Heidi, Anna's schoolmistress and reluctant spiritual medium, delivers a message that is both unsettling and reassuring, Abigail's mental state becomes further challenged. The enigmatic behavior of Heidi leaves Abigail questioning her intentions.
