A shadowy figure seen lurking on the widow's walk is only the beginning of Laura's strange and frightening experiences in her creepy old house...

Money reversals after Davis Chandler's death in a fiery plane crash force his widow Laura to move into a crumbling Victorian house she inherited and hopes to restore and sell.

When she learns that Davis' first wife committed suicide there, and that his death might not have been an accident, Laura sees the strange things that have been happening in a more ominous light.

Despite falling in love with the handsome country veterinarian who has befriended her, the young widow's life seems like a bad dream as she struggles to deal with a stalker, acerbic adult stepchildren, an unwanted suitor, a mother with Alzheimer's, and the rumor that her house is haunted.

When she finds blood splashed on her front steps and a dead animal hanging from her chandelier, Laura realizes the bad dream has turned into a nightmare that could be the death of her.
