When Harrison buys a dilapidated house with the intention of fixing it up to prove to his ex he can be a serious adult, he discovers VHS tapes of an unaired children's show in the basement. While at first it just seems like a disturbing DIY Sesame Street, the show soon drives him into an obsessive madness, revealing the tapes -- and the house itself -- may have a far more sinister backstory.
