Wealthy Richard Walker has just died, leaving behind his country
house full of rooms packed with the detritus of a lifetime. His
estranged family - bitter ex-wife Caroline, troubled teenage son
Trenton, and unforgiving daughter Minna - have arrived for their
inheritance. But the Walkers are not alone. Prim Alice and the
cynical Sandra, long dead former residents bound to the house,
linger within its claustrophobic walls. Jostling for space, memory,
and supremacy, they observe the family, trading barbs and
reminiscences about their past lives. Though their voices cannot be
heard, Alice and Sandra speak through the house itself - in the
hiss of the radiator, a creak in the stairs, the dimming of a light
bulb. The living and dead are each haunted by painful truths that
will soon surface with explosive force. When a new ghost appears,
and Trenton begins to communicate with her, the spirit and human
worlds collide - with cataclysmic results.
