Summary: Eve and Charlie, a young couple who make a living renovating and selling houses, think they’ve found the perfect property: an old house in a quiet neighbourhood purchased at an unbelievably low price. Then, one snowy evening, a man arrives at their door with his wife and children. He explains that he grew up in the house and asks if his family can come inside for a quick look around. Despite her unease, Eve reluctantly agrees. But the visit soon takes a disturbing turn. The family refuses to leave, their youngest child disappears inside the house, and impossible things begin happening in the basement. When Charlie suddenly vanishes too, Eve finds herself trapped in a nightmare where rooms shift, memories cannot be trusted, and reality seems to be changing around her. As Eve desperately searches for answers, *We Used to Live Here* explores anxiety, identity, manipulation, the meaning of home, and the terrifying possibility that your own memories may be lying to you.
