In a leafy suburb, a family moves into a blue two-story house. At first, everything seems to be fine, but it's hard to infuse warmth into the house. Daughter Chloe mourns a friend who recently died of an overdose. Mother Rebecca favors her son Tyler, whose shady friend Ryan frequently visits. Father Chris struggles with problems at work. All the while, an invisible presence observes the family’s tensions, seemingly preparing to intervene. From the voyeuristic perspective of the spirit itself, filmmaker Steven Soderbergh (Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Traffic)) crafts an increasingly ominous atmosphere in unbroken sequences, using innovative and suggestive techniques.
