The McKinney family is embarking on a new adventure, moving from Philadelphia to a suburb in the Midwest. Matthew is upset with his parents for dragging him from his home and friends the summer before his senior year. A decade old family secret threatens the tentative peace the trio manage to eke out in their new home. Within days all three are tortured by visions they can’t fully explain. Matthew and his mother both see a little girl holding a doll and hear strange music. David finds a creature of black stalking his every move. A strange voice seems to call to each of them, playing on their fear and reluctance to talk to each other about what they are going through.

With the help of Karen, the girl next door, Matthew tries to piece together the history of his new address. Can he save his family and end the haunting at 1273 Marigold Lane?
