On offer is a huge and mysterious estate in the peaceful countryside of Norfolk England. Matthew's only daughter is troublesome and at that awkward age of being neither adult nor child. Moving into the huge empty house the girl begins to learn things that should only belong in the past. Colette sees the ghosts and accepts them as part of her extended family. Unable to see the ethereal residents for themselves both her mother and father become increasingly worried for the girl's sanity and safety. Matthew's only hope is to find the reason for the haunting and unravel the secrets of the white lady. The all-terrifying Shee devil must be faced and then banished from the estate.
