In a small seaside town two children witness a series of horrific murders, barely escaping with their own lives. Years later, they are still coming to terms with the trauma of their past when they hear a rumour that the killings have begun again. Unable to resist the draw of their past, they return, hoping to put an end to a reign of terror and free their childhood home from the darkness that holds sway over the hypnotised townsfolk.
