Story
John and Laura Baxter travel to Venice for John to restore a church while they grieve over the drowning of their young daughter. They encounter two mysterious sisters; one claims to be psychic and gives Laura a message suggesting their daughter's spirit is still present. John, however, dismisses this and experiences disturbing hallucinations. Laura becomes increasingly drawn to the sisters' messages, causing tension with John. The story intensifies as they chase after what they believe is their daughter seen wearing her red cloak.
