Claudia and Gwen were born in Texas. At the age of ten Claudia's
parents die suddenly and tragically. Both girls are whisked off to
Germany to be raised by their father's ex-girlfriend, Flora
Stambrugh. There, through no fault of Claudia's, Gwen is
accidentally blinded which causes Claudia to be overprotective.
In spite of everything Gwen goes on to become a talented pianist
and Claudia strives to become a ballerina. Claudia has just decided
to enroll in the finest dance school in Paris when Flora dies and
the two girls are left to fend for themselves. Claudia's dream of
becoming a dancer is shattered.
Taking over the responsibility of raising Gwen, Claudia becomes
a model and meets the love of her life. But death takes him from
her. Claudia has a hard time coping with this death and turns to
heroin. Under the influence, Claudia loses everything: money,
respect, fame, health and the love of her sister. With the help of
intervention, Claudia becomes clean and tries to earn back her
sister's trust.
Financially Claudia and Gwen have hit bottom when they discover
that they have inherited their grandfather's estate. Both return to
the States and decide to live at their grandfather's mansion.
Claudia senses something strange about the place. She learns
something strange about herself as well. She realizes that she is
changing somehow. Things are happening that cannot be
explained.
Searching for clues, Claudia learns more about her family's
history. Nightmares appear showing gruesome display of violent
acts. What does all this have to do with Claudia? In time Claudia
realizes what is wrong.
