Utilizing the Ouija board a friend has loaned her, Cammi Fanelli becomes panic-stricken from the mysterious messages received by a spirit calling himself, "Malcolm." She bewails her decision to play with the game, due to curiosity, knowing that something sinister has entered her life. She tells no one about the incident. Benjamin Treadwell, living almost a century before Cammi, struggles to build an empire for his family while teaching his son Benny to love their land. Always an optimist, Benny is blind to the fact that his father has chosen to build his house on the entrance to the gates of Hell. Later he realizes, through horrific losses associated with their home, that evil forces permeate his family's property. Sleeping demons awake with a vengeance to lead Cammi, her husband Michael and daughters Jenna and Renee on a journey that will forever change their lives. When Cammi and Michael decide to move from Long Island into the Adirondack Mountains, they are unprepared for the harsh climate changes and the demonic forces that await them. Their journey ends inside the old Treadwell homestead, where normal events mutate into paranormal experiences with devastating results.
