In a bid to hide from a family scandal, Scarlet Barker plans to housesit all summer, staying as mobile as possible. A remodeled 1920’s mansion, Cairnwood House, seems like the ideal place to spend a week, with its beautifully landscaped lawns and glistening pond. But, Scarlet soon learns of the home’s dark past, which includes an unhappy spirit. Terrified, she convinces her best friend, Amanda, and her boyfriend, Alec, to stay with her, the trio experiencing strange and disturbing occurrences. To compound matters, there is a man shadowing Scarlet—someone who knows far too much about her.
