On a treacherous snowy New Year's Eve in 1980, elderly couple Wilbur and Ellie Weiss, who had escaped the horrors of a concentration camp during World War II, met a tragic fate when their car was forced off the road, landing sideways in a ditch.
Six months later, Andy and Marisa Janzen, fresh from Joplin, Missouri, purchased the Weiss's Victorian home in Charleston, unaware of the dark past entwined with its walls. The couple had been in the car with Andy when the accident occurred, a moment forever haunting their conscience.
Desperate to reclaim their peace, Wilbur's restless spirit sought vengeance, plotting elaborate frights to drive the Janzen family away. With Ellie's spirit watching, he promised her he would spare the children from harm, a promise he feared he might struggle to keep. But as Wilbur's schemes intensified, they risked entangling the innocent-something Ellie never wanted.
When a tragic accident befell the Janzen's close friends, Hank and Cindy, Andy and Marisa became more resolute in their decision to stay, unwittingly igniting a haunting battle between past and present, forcing Wilbur into increasingly extreme measures to reclaim his home and peace.
