Lace Crater

Awkward twentysomething Ruth (Lindsay Burdge) and some pals head to the Hamptons for a weekend of mild debauchery at their friend Andrew's parents' summer home. With the bedrooms in the main house all claimed, Ruth takes the guest house, unfazed by Andrew's jokes about it being haunted. The group spends the first day getting high, lounging in the hot tub, and chatting introspectively about life. Eventually Ruth stumbles off to bed and ends up face-to-face with a figure wrapped in burlap: the Ghost himself. What follows is not a horrific encounter, but a shy, tentative flirtation that escalates to a roll in the sheets (of the bed). Ruth is soon back at home and her weird weekend romp is all but forgotten. That is, until strange things start happening to her body - things that not even her doctors can explain.
