On a trip to the thrift store to shop for clothes for the upcoming twins, five-year-old Lucy Sei perceives a mysterious painting, in which she becomes drawn to. Suddenly, she appears to have created an imaginary friend, under the name Kimmerie, based on the antique portrait she saw. When her parents, Adam and Tessa Sei, notice that her behavior has changed abruptly, they fear for the worst when Lucy becomes violent and aggressive, unlike her innocent personality.
