After years of war and witnessing the savagery of westward expansion, Van Tassel has returned home to raise a family and forget the evils of his past. Evil, however, has a way of finding him. Murder and betrayal leave a once-proud manor falling into disrepair. Alex and his family have been hired to restore the home, only to find the victims of the previous owners have never left. Who is the mysterious new owner? Why is a three-hundred-year-old witch interested in the house? And what does Chloe need to do to catch a break?
