Not only has he been forced to move across the country, but Dad is also flirting like crazy with his new girlfriend. In an attempt to get away from the two lovebirds, Jesse starts to explore his new house and what he finds changes everything. Hidden in Jesse's basement is a room the adults can't see, and leading from the room is a massive tunnel. That's not the only weird thing about Jesse's new house, though. It's also tagged with all sorts of rumors. Could the house actually be haunted like some people think? With the help of his new friend Jake, Jesse soon discovers the truth, and they find themselves in a situation that is way out of their control. Ambyth, an eternal city of teenagers, is anything but a safe place for Jesse and Jake to be. Together they must overcome the evil that Jesse's house has been hiding for decades, and they have to do it before time runs out.
