Paris Gardner lost her parents in an unexplainable event when she was eight years old. Now, she's been transferred to an orphanage in Wiltshire, where she is to live with 11 other children and the two matrons in the humongous Pearlhall House. Two nights in and already strange things are happening. The piano playing in the night and the cellar door that keeps opening when locked. Not to mention the attic lined with thousands of antique dolls. The weekly game of Blind Man's Buff leads Paris to an unescapable whirlwind of horror which she must escape to save her friends.
