9-year-old Ellie had never found life difficult. Adored and loved by many, she never had to worry about what lies in the future. She had a doting family consisting of two siblings and two parents who were so rich that people still like to say that Ellie was practically born in a bank vault. Ellie never expected Death to come knocking at her door, so when it did on one cold winter day, she and the people of her small, sleepy town were taken by surprise. Her home, which was once open and warm became dark and cold. Her family struggle to come to terms with Ellie's death. But what they didn't know was that Ellie was still with them, following them around as they reluctantly continue they daily lives. After being failed by the police, Ellie's older sister decides to take matters on her own hands and try to solve Ellie's murder case and catch the monster who did it. From beyond the grave, Ellie decides to do the same thing. But the problem was, she couldn't remember who killed her or even why someone had thought that she deserved to die.
