Eleven years ago, Alma was given up for adoption as a baby under mysterious circumstances. Her adoption file, which is kept strictly under lock and key, contains the following note: "The identity of the parents must never be revealed under any circumstances. Mother is in mortal danger!!!" But because Alma is critically ill, adoptive mother Olivia Rauch begins a desperate search for her biological parents. In the process, the psychologist, who specializes in violent crime, comes across the legend of the "calendar girl" - a young woman is said to have once been haunted by a psychopath in a remote cottage at Christmas time, who forced her to open an Advent calendar of horror. Olivia realizes that she must go to that cottage and find the psychopath in order to save her daughter...
