Daniel inherits an old family estate known as “The Midnight House,” rumored to be haunted.

Guided by the whispers, he discovers a hidden room with a mysterious mirror, where he sees trapped souls from the house’s history. Realizing that his ancestors are calling for release, Daniel touches the mirror, freeing the spirits. With the house finally at peace, he leaves, forever changed by the memories of those who once inhabited the Midnight House.
