After a bitter and costly divorce, construction handyman Tim Russell buys a farmhouse in the country. Aiming to renovate and re-sell, Tim’s plans take a turn when he discovers the house is haunted by a fractured family whose ancient problems outweigh his own.

Tim sees a soaking-wet ghost boy and his mother, who is often seen chasing him around the house and property. Someone leaves Tim clues and burning candles, but who? Footsteps and wailing can happen anytime and anywhere. Tim, it seems, has been invited to the chaos.

Pressed into duty, Tim soon realizes he’s made a mistake. He’s been tricked and has started a war with a scorned dead woman, a woman whose middle name is Vengeance. Leaving is not an option.
