The Haunting of Hill House meets Locke & Key in THE PLOT, a supernatural horror tale where the Blaine family has been tied to their history and home. The only hope? Tear it all down. But the past isn't ready to release its grip.
IN ORDER TO RECEIVE, FIRST YOU MUST GIVE.
An ancient evil has stalked the Blaine family for generations, darkening the doorstep of their ancestral home in Cape Augusta, Maine. For surviving patriarch Chase Blaine, there's only one option left: hold his niece and nephew, MacKenzie and Zach, close and tear it all to the ground. But the past has no interest in being left behind. A coastal storm rages, and the dark waters of their family history come crashing down.
