As they reunite to clear out the grand glass house, his architectural masterpiece, they begin to feel their father's lingering influence. The house holds secrets linked to their mother's mysterious disappearance and the peculiar strangers who have always shown an unusual interest in their family. The sisters realize they are at the center of something much larger and more sinister than they could have imagined.
