After the sudden death of her estranged father, a young woman inherits his crumbling, isolated mansion nestled deep in the fog-choked woods of New England. The house-an ancient, sprawling estate with rotting walls, endless hallways, and locked rooms that whisper-has been in her family for generations, each owner meeting a grisly end. As she attempts to settle the estate and uncover the truth behind her father's final days, she begins to experience nightmarish visions, voices in the walls, and waking dreams of her ancestors' violent pasts. She soon learns the house is not simply haunted-it is a vessel for a legion of demons bound by blood to her family line. Armed only with her father's cryptic journals, an occult grimoire hidden behind a false wall, and her own unraveling sanity, she must confront the horrors within the estate before the house consumes her soul like it did the others.
