Their old family home in the Valley of the Ghosts becomes the setting for mysterious events and an unlikely friendship between Rebecca and Rasha, a young Palestinian girl only she can see. Is Rasha a figment of Rebecca’s imagination or is she connected to the home’s troubled history? As Rebecca delves deeper into the secrets of the house, she discovers Rasha’s true identity, and the shared loss that binds them.
