När Emma låter sin hand klyva ytan på den tjocka, svarta vätskan, sväljer avgrunden hela henne. Väl uppe igen berättar hon vad hon sett, och ser gestalter hämtade från hennes barndoms minnen. Det visar sig vara hysteriskt roligt att trolla fram skepnader och syner som alla försvinner efter en stund. Men för varje gång verkar det som om varelserna som följer med upp blir större, farligare, otäckare. Och de stannar kvar allt längre, följer med upp på land, bland husen, in i barnens rum. De har väckt något uråldrigt till liv, något som känner till barnens önskningar och drömmar, men även deras hemligheter.
