In a small southern town, an old eyesore of a house is the center of a ghost story. Tied to an age-old unsolved murder of one young teen, Alicea Reeve, the site is said to be haunted by the victim herself, who punishes all who enter.

Over the years, all that became of the story was juvenile pranks and silly dares to spend the night in the abandoned . Until one summer, two teens went missing after they went to the haunted home. Was it actually the ghost of Alicea Reeves? Or has the killer come back to continue what he had started?

One pair is set to find out, as a peculiar priest and his strange foster son are called into town to perform a cleansing on the house. But the town doesn’t make it easy for the outsiders, as Jed and Alex must avoid meddling cops, unsightly rumors, and one powerful redhead’s crush- all while hiding secrets of their own.

Can the pair find out who’s taking the children before the past repeats?

Or will they become the town’s next ghost story?
