A 67-year-old woman leaves her home in the care of her niece's fiancé, Sumit, with one main rule: feed the fish and water the plants. When she returns a month later, the house seems fine at first. But upon opening her bedroom door, she finds a strange woman in white crying loudly.
“A house-sitting disaster with a screaming surprise.”
