COMING SOON AS A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN AND STARRING JAKE GYLLENHAAL AND PHOEBE DYNEVOR "You're going to fall in love, Tate. And when you do, it's going to change your life forever..." New York architect Tate Donovan arrives on Cape Cod hoping to make a fresh start after the loss of his sister. When he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast, he unexpectedly encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren - and their immediate connection challenges everything he thinks he knows. But as their fragile relationship begins to blossom, Tate discovers that Wren is haunted by a dark past. To free her from a desperate fate, he must uncover the truth before it's too late... As their secrets collide, Tate is faced with a devastating choice. Because loving her could cost him everything... A beautiful and heart-wrenching supernatural love story from the minds of two brilliant storytellers: the bestselling author of The Notebook, and the blockbuster filmmaker behind The Sixth Sense.
