Magda is a writer, Emerence her housekeeper. Magda is new to their quiet Hungarian town, while Emerence, fierce and enigmatic, knows and is known by all.

Though Emerence enters Magdas home whenever she pleases, the door to Emerences own strange abode remains barred. Still, somehow, over the course of twenty years, an intimate trust is built between the two, rich with shared confidences. Yet when this trust is betrayed one dark afternoon, the pairs complex relationship will be left forever altered, and Magda will find herself haunted until the end of her days.

For not all doors are made to be opened.
