It all started with a game of hide and seek.
The four Esmie children were playing together when the youngest brother, Ben, went off to hide, and was never seen again.
That was long ago. It's been eighteen years since the siblings fled their childhood home, Fell House, the one that holds all the ghosts of the past. They've built separate lives, but all of them carry the psychological scars of that fateful day.
But then Violet receives a call from the house's caretaker. He's too scared to keep working there. He says he saw the spirit of a young boy whispering two words . . .
Come home.
