Synopsis
What would you do if a loved one called to you from beyond the grave? After Jonathan Rivers' wife Anna is murdered, his despair turns to obsession when he discovers Electronic Voice Phenomenon, the practice of tracking and recording voices of those who have died using transmissions from tape recorders and other electronic devices. Jonathan uses EVP to communicate with Anna, wherever she is, and soon discovers that Anna has a mission for him: to prevent the deaths of future victims of the brutal psychopath who took her life.
