Plot

As a five-year-old, Nora loses her parents in a car accident. Her relatives never tell her the truth of what happened. Ten years later, Nora moves with her foster family into an old apartment building, where strange things begin to happen. She hears footsteps stopping outside her room, she barely escapes a fatal accident thanks to an anonymous phone call, and a book of Russian folk tales repeatedly falls open to the page reading "Go I Know Not Whither and Fetch I Know Not What". Together with her foster brother Dag, Nora searches for answers to all the questions surrounding her.
