When Amy Moore buys her dream home, a rundown Connecticut mansion, at a knock down price she cannot believe her luck. Amy wants to renovate the house and restore it to its former glory - 3 floors, 9 bedrooms, an attic and a dank basement (with a mysterious concrete sarcophagus at its center). But when she starts scraping away the mouldy wallpaper and knocking down walls, she disturbs the spirits that have lain hidden inside for decades.

Young Don Decker is in trouble with the law, but he's been released from Stroudsberg Jail, Pennsylvania, on a weekend furlough to attend his grandfather's funeral. The Keefer family, who put him up for the night, has no idea what they're bringing into their home.
