In addition, her work as a realtor, the mystical ability to see ghosts and fear of the future exhaust her. Melanie thinks that she is not ready to become a mother and radically change her lifestyle. The last straw is that at night she begins to hear someone crying, and soon someone’s remains are found in the foundation of the house that she inherited. This story goes back to the nineteenth century, but Melanie is beginning to feel its consequences right now.
