Janice Witherspoon's life is abruptly upended by the sudden
death of her boyfriend in Iraq. Fueled by shock and
uncertainty, she packs her belongings from the North
Carolina apartment they shared and takes to the road,
planning to meet the soldier's body on its journey back
home. But something steers Janice off course. After a mechanical and emotional breakdown, she finds
herself deep in the woods of rural Pennsylvania on the
grounds of an abandoned lockhouse. Drawn to the old
building's ramshackle quality, lack of electricity and
plumbing, and any apparent link to the outside world, she
decides to stay. Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months,
and all is going well until Janice meets two attractive
strangers and her calm gives way to a series of blackouts,
inexplicable accidents and nightmares. As the line between the real and imagined blurs, Janice
discovers that her past is connected to a horrifying
tragedy that took place in the 1800s.
