In a dark reimagining of the classic fairy tale, a man's life is shattered when he inherits a mysterious estate and an ancient, terrifying curse. Ethan Peck stars as Thomas Kaiser, a man plagued by haunting visions who suddenly becomes the owner of a decrepit mansion that holds a terrible secret: a beautiful woman named Briar Rose, played by India Eisley, trapped in an eternal slumber within its walls. As Thomas explores the labyrinthine property, he discovers he is now the guardian against malevolent supernatural forces that desperately want to claim both the house and its sleeping occupant. With the help of a determined therapist, portrayed by Natalie Hall, he must unravel the dark history of his bloodline and the mansion's connection to the legendary Sleeping Beauty. This chilling mystery, directed by Pearry Reginald Teo, blends gothic fantasy with psychological thriller elements, creating a tense atmosphere where every shadow holds a threat and the line between nightmare and reality blurs. Thomas must confront the sinister legacy he has inherited before the curse consumes him and unleashes its horror upon the world.
