In the mid-1980s, the Alan family relocates from the West Coast to a small, seemingly idyllic town on the East Coast. Their new home, an old house mysteriously left fully furnished by the previous owners, soon reveals its eerie secrets. Joey Alan, the family's daughter, begins to uncover the dark history that lies within the town and their home.

Joey's unsettling experiences start with whispers in her mind, leading to horrifying encounters with disfigured apparitions. One night, she is terrorized by a bloody, disfigured arm rising from the edge of her bed, and she finds herself trapped in a room bolted shut from the inside. Her investigations into these supernatural occurrences unveil a history of unsolved disappearances linked to the house, including the fate of the previous owners who never truly left.

As Joey delves deeper, she discovers that the house is not only haunted by spirits but also by the town's collective guilt and secrets. The townsfolk, initially welcoming, turn evasive when questioned about the past. Joey must navigate a web of old grudges and buried truths, facing both supernatural and human threats.

In a race against time, Joey confronts the malevolent forces determined to keep the past hidden. She must unearth the truth and bring peace to the restless spirits, even as the house itself seems to conspire against her. The final revelation threatens to tear her world apart, but Joey's resilience and courage may be the key to ending the haunting and uncovering the true history of her home.
