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.
