Stanley has lived alone in the small town of Chestercoine, New Hampshire for seven years, spending his time with his books, his flute, and his television set. What he never knew about his house was that it is also the home of many a restless spirit; restless spirits that feed on pain alone, and cause it to grow until it leads the current resident to their own death. When a tragic event throws Stanley into a deep depression, the spirits in his home begin to feed off of his pain. Is Stanley strong enough to be the first to escape this cycle of death? Or will he, too, succumb to the spirits' hunger for pain, and become one of them?
