They tell you that you shouldn't judge a person by what you see in front of you, but when that person is a mean tempered old man, maybe you should look twice. He may turn out to be a serial killer. When the Clay family inherit a house from an old uncle, they not only find that he lived like a pig, but also that he left behind unwanted company. Cynthia, the first ghost they encounter, is kind and just wants a friend, but what of the rest, and how many are there? Sam and Jennifer aren't sure that they want to learn just how sick their uncle was, but their housemates want to go home, and they will do almost anything to get there.
