Children often find themselves at the mercy of the adult world, and sometimes feel powerless to influence the course of their own existence. At times, they may be tormented by the complexities of a life that no one has been able to satisfactorily explain to them.

In a small house in Glen Burnie, Maryland, the life of 10-year-old Billy Bean is already in crisis. He and his teenage sister are attacked in the middle of the night – pinned to their beds by unseen intruders.

Billy knows that there is something evil in the house, and it is slowly destroying his family. As the attacks get worse, he struggles to learn the secrets of the house on Little Road‚ and fight them in any way he can, to save his sanity.

With casual indifference, time slowly erases reminders of the past. Old roads, once traveled regularly, are abandoned and their destinations may be forgotten.

When Clara and her family move into a small home in rural Hinsdale, New York, they are eager to get away from the chaos of city life but soon learn that their new, quiet home is full of disturbances. They hear the inexplicable sound of ritualistic chanting coming from somewhere deep within the woods, and neighbors tell tales of ghosts that roam the forest. In time, the family realizes that the peace of life in the country is merely an illusion‚ and the threat of death is very real.

A local psychic explains that the unquiet dead are being drawn to the house‚ and to a gruesome secret hidden in the storage crawlspace.
