Karla, driven by the need for financial stability, seizes an opportunity to work as a cleaner in the opulent home of Steven and Regina Rytter. However, it becomes apparent that something is amiss within the confines of their luxurious residence. Regina, confined to her bedroom, and Steven, a doctor with a hidden agenda, exude an unsettling presence that permeates every corner of the house. Meanwhile, Jennica, a single and career-driven woman, embarks on a fateful encounter with Steven through a popular dating app, Tinder.
