When a young couple, Sarah and John, moves into a charming Victorian home on First Street, they think they have found their dream home. But their dream soon turns into a nightmare when they begin to experience strange and unsettling occurrences. Doors open and close on their own, objects move mysteriously, and they hear disembodied voices.

The real estate agent who sold Sarah and John the house knew about the strange occurrences, but he failed to disclose them.

As Sarah and John dig deeper into the house's past, they uncover a web of secrets and lies. They learn that Anderson was involved in a number of shady business dealings, and that he may have even been responsible for Mary's death. They also learn that the house is built on the site of an old Indian burial ground, which may explain the strange occurrences that have plagued the house for centuries.

The ghosts of the house are determined to protect their secrets, and they will stop at nothing to keep Sarah and John from uncovering the truth.
