It was supposed to be a fresh start, a place for Steve & Melody
Samson to start their new life together away from the noise
and crime of the city.
However, their new home - an idyllic cottage nestled deep
within the dense solitude of Oakwell forest has a disturbing
history, hidden for generations by the local villagers, who are
desperate to keep their sleepy town free from potential
media attention.
As Steve and Melody notice the bizarre
things that are happening to them, they unravel the complex
web of lies and deceit perpetrated by the locals.
Told both in a modern day narrative and flashbacks to the
Building's construction in the 1800s, we learn of the terrible
things that reside within Hope House, and the reasons for the
history of murder, suicide and insanity for the previous owners
of the house.
As Steve and Melody delve ever deeper, they are plagued not only
by the malevolent forces that reside within the house, but also
the very real attention of the increasingly unstable realtor,
Donovan, who has horrific secrets of his own.
