Plot Stella decides to marry Anton 3 years after her husband died. Anton was her great love before she was forced by her parents to marry Danilo. However, at the wedding, Anton's mother Milagros is left paralyzed and unable to speak after being attacked by an unknown entity who later kills her shortly afterwards. After moving to Anton's place, Stella experiences major hauntings that endanger her and her son. Stella assumes that his late husband is the one responsible for the hauntings and tries to placate him, only for the hauntings to escalate. Eventually, Stella and Anton's clairvoyant housekeeper Olga realize that the entity responsible is the ghost of Lorna, Anton's ex-girlfriend who was accidentally killed by Anton and buried in a forest. Lorna then attacks Stella's household, killing Olga. Feeling guilt over their predicament, Anton leaves to confront Lorna at her grave but is followed by Stella.
