Will Shepherd had it all, a beautiful wife, a loving young daughter, and now the job of his dreams that promises to fulfill his every professional and financial ambition. This prize includes relocating his family to a stately old Victorian mansion set on the scenic, remote banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. But his dream is about to become a nightmare. What Will doesn't know is that the home's shadowy inhabitants have ambitions of their own, plans that have been brewing in the bowels of acres poisoned by a history of violence and bloodshed. Will finds himself the focus of otherworldly forces bent on making the Shepherd family into another chapter in the home's dark tale of misery and pain. Drawing power from land infused with centuries of evil, the apparitions plunge Will into a living nightmare, where he experiences what he prays are hallucinations. But the horror becomes all too real when he witnesses a ghastly death on moving day. He never saw anyone die before, now as the eerie episodes increase, can Will keep his tenuous grip on reality and solve the ancient mystery to save his family, his sanity, his life and his very soul? Or will the denizens of the shadows succeed in bringing about Shepherd's Fall?
