Steven LaChance and his three children move from a cramped apartment into a roomy old house in Union, Missouri. Initially, he's not concerned by his kids' claims of ghosts stalking the halls and opening closet doors; he just assumes they're reacting to stess from the recent break-up of his marriage. Soon enough, Steven is fearing for his childrens' safety and they all flee the house one night in the terror.
After a new family moves in, the supernatural activities go from frightening to dangerous. Recurring nightmares convince Steven that these people are also in danger, so he goes to warn them of the peril they face.
