Summary

In 1986 in a small town in Massachusetts, the Bowen family was grieving the loss of their mother and wife after a battle with cancer. The two teenage girls spent a lot of time in the home alone while their father, Frank, was at work. They began hearing noises in their home and thought that their house was haunted. It turned out that a boy the eldest daughter had dated was living in their walls and watching them. After being caught and subsequently released less than a year later, Daniel LaPlante murdered a pregnant woman and her two young children while burglarizing their home.
