Her past comes back to haunt her (in more ways than one) when Barbara receives news that her younger sister has taken her own life and was witnessed by Ruth’s only daughter Karen (Taus). Barbara immediately returns to the Philippines to mourn her sister and comfort her unstable niece. But strange events happen upon Barbara’s return and she learns the reason surrounding Ruth’s mysterious death.
Throughout their marriage, Ruth felt that Nick never really loved her, but instead still harboured feelings for her sister. In a state of paranoid delusion, she suspects that Nick was having an affair and used his business trips to the States as an excuse to rendezvous with Barbara. In a jealous rage, she commits suicide and haunts the household through a doll to extract revenge on everyone who wronged her.
