Fleeing her abusive ex-boyfriend, a young woman named Alyssa takes a job as a housekeeper for a wealthy Chinese family in a secluded desert home. Her arrival coincides with the seventh month of the Chinese calendar, a sacred period where the gates of hell open and restless spirits are allowed to roam the mortal realm.
