The Lasser glass mirror is owned by the Lasser family and acts as the central supernatural object in the story.
Arthur Lasser's wife dies mysteriously. His children Kaylie and Tim experience the mirror's disturbing effects leading to their father's death and their institutionalization.
Following the tragic events caused by the mirror's influence, Kaylie and Tim are institutionalized where they grow distant due to trauma.
Years later, Kaylie and Tim reunite with the intent to prove the mirror is malevolent and want to destroy it to end its influence.
Both siblings experience terrifying and reality-bending phenomena induced by the mirror that manipulates perceptions and distorts time.
Tim is ultimately possessed and killed by the mirror while Kaylie fights to survive, attempting to destroy the mirror with fire.
Despite Kaylie's attempt to burn it, the mirror survives the fire, hinting that the evil persists.
