Summary

Childhood sweethearts Peter and Irene have found each other again after more than twenty years apart. After Irene shows up to an event promoting Peter’s latest book on paranormal experiences, Peter offers his childhood home to Irene for the home-renovation TV show she is producing. Irene brings her teenage son, Gary, with her in the hopes that Peter might be able to help Gary with the strange, possibly supernatural communications he has been receiving. As Peter and Irene’s romance slowly rekindles, they find themselves up against the house’s angry tenant, the ghost of Peter’s dead father – and he wants them OUT! Frightening ghostly confrontations, wild psychokinetic activity, and the unearthing of long-dead secrets all lead to a hair-raising showdown to see who can take possession of the family homestead.
