Nora O'Malley is a seventeen year old third generation Irish immigrant. Living in rural Nova Scotia in 1885 on her grandfathers farm. She always thought her grandfather immigrated to Canada because of the tragic potato famine that struck Ireland. At least that's the story she was always told. Until now that is... While her grandfather was on his death bed he recalls the tale of his immigration that took place in 1847, and the reasoning turns out to be far more sinister. Are the O'Malleys cursed? Could a poltergeist have followed the family on their voyage across the Atlantic? Her grandfathers tale sends chills down her spine and terrifies her to her core.
