Maine, 1913: Claiming she is mad, Emily Grey’s husband and evil mother-in-law plot to take away her newborn son. She is released from a mental institution only to discover that her son died more than a decade earlier. Unable to bear the grief, she hangs herself from the balcony of her manor home. A half-century later, the town of Bucksport believes that her tortured spirit roams the shadowy halls of the manor looking for her long lost child…
