Jason Brown is a normal all American 18 year old boy. He is ready to blow town, leave Jasper, Virginia in his rearview mirror, and never look back. That`s just what he plans to do in a week, that`s when graduation is, he plans to put this loser town in the rearview, and head for a big city, any big city will do.
Jason`s parents have moved around a lot in Jason`s life, five times in the last two years, and this town is by far, the worst that they have ever lived in.
Jason plans on getting out of this town, because it`s just a spot in the road, but that isn`t the only reason. The second reason he plans on getting out of town, and this is the main reason, is because his parents are religious fanatics.
Another reason Jason is ready to get out of town as fast as he can, and this is another biggie, is because of the house that he lives in. The house gives him the creeps, most folks in town say it is haunted, and Jason can believe it. The place is creepy, it looks like it should be on the set of a horror movie. If you look at it just right, it resembles a human skull. That`s bad enough, but the backyard is even worse, because there is a graveyard in the backyard.
Who the hell would put a graveyard in the backyard? Jason has wondered.
The backyard gives Jason the heebie jeebies, it creeps him out, and he has had a few nightmares about the graveyard.
All that is bad enough, but Jason has been having a recurring nightmare, he has had it every night for the last three months, ever since he moved into the house. It`s just a nightmare, it`s just night terrors, or is it something much more sinister?
