"Then one day the woman takes form in their yard. Ramona assumes the woman (Okwui Okpokwasili) is lost or demented, but as the woman creeps nearer and nearer to the house, it becomes clear she is no ordinary figure and her intentions are anything but peaceful," reads the description.
"Now Ramona must rally to protect herself and her children from the grasp of the woman who simply won't leave them alone."
