Returning to her childhood home in Louisiana, Ellie ends up in a foster family with Miss Beatty. An eccentric but kind older woman shows her a new direction and a bright future. But Ellie's new life is threatened when young women in the town begin to die and she sees shadowy figures outside her bedroom. As Miss Beatty becomes inexplicably distant, a nagging voice makes Ellie wonder if death has found her again... or if it never left her in the first place.18+
