In 1972, a couple spending Christmas night at a villa near Seattle are mysteriously murdered. The county takes possession of the villa, which remains unsold until 2019 due to its reputation as a haunted house. Sakshi, a deaf-mute artist, travels with her fiancé to find a painting of a previous owner whose ghost is believed to have killed the couple. However, she runs away blood-stained after a while and gets hit by a car. It is revealed that Sakshi’s fiancé has died in the basement, and as his corpse is taken out, a key falls from his hand. The key leads to the murder of Anthony Gonsalves, a famous cello player whose previous wife committed suicide.

In a flashback, Sakshi recounts her past. She grew up in an orphanage in Sequim where she met Sonali. They grow closer, eventually fall in love and get engaged. After Sonali went missing, she decided to go to thevilla for a week to relax and find the painting. She discovers that the painting was stolen by a man named Vivek, a photographer. Vivek and Sakshi became good friends and started living together with Sonali, who becomes jealous of Sakshi. She learns Sonali’s only friend was Sakshi and gets arrested for stabbing someone who went out with her. She goes to the orphanage to investigate Sonali’s disappearance suspecting a connection to Anthony’s death. She then trails Richard and follows him to a farmhouse in the outskirts of Seattle, which she discovers secretly belongs to Anthony. Soon afterwards, the hooded man, revealed to be Vivek who took the footage earlier, meets with Sakshi at the Space Needle, where a flashback occurs.
