It's a grey, wet winter in southern California and Phil Ainsworth is alone. A recent widower, he gets eerie sensations as he roams around the big, old house that belonged to his mother. He's sure he's seen people lurking by the old well that, in this weather, always seems ready to overflow. But how much is real, and how much is in his head?

Then more bad news arrives: Phil's sister has died, naming him as guardian of her ten-year-old daughter, Betsy. It's not a good time to bring a child into this unhappy house, but Phil promised to look after her - and she's all the family he has left.

What Phil doesn't know is that Betsy is a special child - one who possesses a link to the emotions of the past, the voices of the dead, and the uncanny powers closing in around this house...
