Claire Spencer (Michelle Pfeiffer) enters a new phase of her life after a serious car accident leaves gaps in her memory. She is married to the renowned scientist Dr. Norman Spencer (Harrison Ford). Shortly after arriving in a new lakeside house in Vermont that once belonged to Norman’s scientist father, her daughter Caitlin leaves home to go away to college. One day when Claire is working in the garden she hears loud sobbing coming from over the fence. It turns out to be her neighbor, Mary Feur (Miranda Otto). She seems terrified and Claire is very concerned, thinking that her husband is beating her. Norman tells her not to worry. Claire wakes in the middle of the night, and looks out of the window. She sees Mary’s husband Warren (James Remar) dragging what looks like a body bag out into the boot of his car. By the time Claire had woken Norman, there was nothing left to see.

The next day, Claire decides to investigate by taking a basket of flowers and wine to the house as a “Welcome Gift”. After nobody answers the door she walks round the side of the house and makes a startling discovery; a woman’s sandal with a dark stain on it… She collects the sandal, and returns to the front door to leave the basket there. Warren returns as she is leaving the basket, and Claire explains why she was there and asks where Mary is. Warren gives a vague answer which leaves Claire even more worried.

Mysterious events begin to happen in Claire’s house when Norman is not there – a picture falling off the window sill, doors opening and closing themselves and the computer screen typing ‘MEF MEF MEF’ (Mary E Feur). Throughout the film a framed newspaper clipping of Claire and Norman at an awards ceremony keeps mysteriously falling off tables and the glass breaks. At one point, Claire is running a bath and as she looks into the water she sees a second reflection over her shoulder. Claire then believes that Mary is dead, and is now haunting her. This prompts her to visit her husband at work in his lab. She chats to one of the scientists who explains the drug halothane which they are using in the lab. It paralyzes but leaves the victim completely conscious. Norman, of course, thinks that Claire is feeling a bit empty since Caitlin is at university and this is just an excuse to grab attention. Desperate for closure, Claire invites her best friend Jody to join her for a séance in her bathroom where she had seen the reflection of Mary. Claire produces the sandal she had earlier taken from Mary’s house, and places it on the table. The Ouija board does not move, but a candle starts to flicker, then goes out. The dial on the Ouija board then starts to move slowly from M to F. Nothing else happens, so Claire and Jody break the Ouija circle and Claire puts the Ouija board in a cupboard downstairs under some sweaters, and asks Jody not to tell Norman about the séance which Jody dutifully does not.

Claire returns to Norman’s workplace, where she informs Norman of what she and Jody had done. Norman tells her that she is going crazy, and decides to take her home. As they are crossing a bridge, they meet Warren, and Claire starts accusing him of killing Mary. When Warren looks confused, a lady comes over and asks him what the problem is. It turns out to be Mary Feur, leaving Norman and Claire very embarrassed.
