Everyone knows that after Sarah Winchester's husband's death, she built a home for the wandering spirits she thought haunted her.  Not just any average home - a mansion with at least seven stories of secrets, a mansion so complex that the workers had to use a map to find their way around.  

To confuse the spirits, she built trap hallways, secret passage doors that leads to nothing but a concrete wall, stairs that lead to a certain death and miniature doorways.

The town took her as a mad woman. 

When she died, her niece inherited all her values and one warning; don't step foot on the Winchester Mansion, which was believed lived many spirits in search for revenge. 

But that was fifty-three years ago.  Sarah's niece had kids, then her kid's had kids and so forth. 

So when the descendant of Sarah's great-great niece and four others were  dared to visit the place where her boss was murdered they find themselves in a dangerous refuge, hiding from a mass  murderer, inside of a certain mansion in the middle of the woods. 

When they're too far in the mansion, they realize they can't escape the clutches of the four walls that seem to follow them everywhere.

No power.  No service.  And one is guilty.
