Lush and deceptively tranquil, the secluded island basks in splendid isolation off the South Carolina coast-as does the Devereaux mansion, a once great plantation house now crumbling amid the ancient oaks. Now, for the first time in 2 decades, Kevin Devereaux has returned here with his wife and children to visit Kevins hated, frightening mother. She said she was ill-but is that really why the old woman has summoned the son she has not seen in so many years? Suddenly, horribly, one of the Devereauxs is going to die. And now, all the dark secrets of this once-proud Southern family will emerge to wrap their evil around the unsuspecting children. Until, in the shadowed corridors and dust-covered rooms of the decaying old house, they learn the true terror.
