They retreat to the living room. Adam and Miranda sit on the couch, arm in arm like a couple expecting news at a doctor's office while Susan, on the recliner, measures their readiness with a magnetic stare before taking a deep breath and proceeding. "First, I should say that my main interest is not to upset you or the entity, Evelyn, attached to your home in any way. I came to help both you and her find a peaceful resolution," Susan says with a soft, comforting smile, but soon, the warmth in her voice turns to a foreboding and frostbitten tone. "In my 30 years as a paranormal investigator, I have encountered phenomenal disturbances that suddenly and without warning stopped! And never returned, and I have no explanation for why the presence dissipated. I have felt dark matter moving through my trembling bones, smelled the fragrances of multiple apparitions in hospital hallways, and seen the bloodless visions of the dead wandering across mist-shrouded streets in the night. But I have never experienced the terror that I feel today in your lovely home. And I worry for your safety."In the tragic aftermath of domestic violence, the restless spirit of a murdered woman, Evelyn Lourdes, lingers in the luxurious Seattle house where she was killed; trapped between the realm of the dead and the land of the living.
Four years later, husband and wife, Adam and Miranda Clark move into the dream house on Singing Bird Lane hoping for a new start in their crumbling marriage. But when Evelyn falls in love with Adam, the only way she can have him is by driving Miranda insane with fear.
