Seventeen years ago, MIKE GILLIS killed a new mother
of twin girls and took the babies to a house in the woods, claiming them as his
own to appease his wife's desire for kids. After Mike committed multiple
murders over seven years to "protect" the growing girls locked in the
basement, even finally killing his wife, one day a fire in the house causes it
to collapse on Mike and the twins. In present day, STACY WALKER flees to her
uncle's old secluded cabin in those same woods to escape her abusive boyfriend.
Once there, her head begins to clear and she feels free to be with her
thoughts. That first night she is haunted by the ghosts of the little girls
crying for their mother. Meanwhile, DETECTIVE BLACK is investigating the
17-year-old case of the twins' disappearance and their mother's murder. The
cold trail suddenly turns warm when the case leads to the same secluded
mountainous region where Stacy has escaped. As Stacy is beginning to figure out
her life, as well as trying to unravel the mystery of her visions, Stacy's
friends, unaware of her abused past, bring her boyfriend up to see her. Stacy
is on the brink of insanity as the twin ghosts keep reappearing. As Black gets
closer to the truth, Stacy finds herself in the middle of a murder spree.
