Madison Palmer, along with her 5-year-old daughter Sophie, is hoping to escape her past life in the city and make a fresh start in the quiet little town of Port Belle. She moves into her cousin's century-old Victorian rental house on the outskirts of town. The townsfolk give the house a wide berth, for there is something not quite right about the old place – "Has a bad history," the locals say. It isn't long before strange things start happening. The house, like Madison, carries a secret – a tragic secret that is slowly revealed, and chaos and tragedy are once again alive within its walls.
