Shay, about to exchange vows, encounters a grotesque bronze mirror that has traveled from China to San Francisco in the 1880s.

Plagued by prophetic visions, Shay is doomed to marry her grandfather, bear her own mother, and become part of a cruel cycle of destiny. As the two women confront the sinister spell of the mirror, they realize they cannot escape the supernatural curse that binds them.
