A dark, paranoia-soaked horror-thriller about a father's protective instincts tested by supernatural forces tied to an ancient burial ground and his daughter's transformation.

John James is a writer; his wife has left him. He moves with his two middle-school children to an isolated house off a dirt road in South Carolina. The property has an Indian burial mound, which fascinates his daughter, Louisa, who's entering puberty.
