Close your doors and cabinets tight, or Jack will climb out to see you tonight.
The former railroad stop of Timbermill, Georgia has grown ever more quiet and empty since its boom era ended decades ago. Reduced to little more than a ghost town, it is suddenly revitalized by suburban sprawl from the city of Savannah, its long-vacant storefronts gradually reopening as boutiques for weekend shoppers.
But Timbermill has a dark legend unknown to the newcomers. Stories whispered from one generation of the town's children to the next warned of a supernatural figure who stalked them by night. As the children grew up and moved away, the town shrank, windows were boarded over, and the old stories began to fade into the past.
A recently relocated family with four children is restoring an antique house for themselves, but an unsettling figure from the local legend appears to be stalking them. They turn to Ellie and Stacey for help against an old evil that, while nearly forgotten, was never fully buried.
