Heather saw her mother die in a fire when she was three. Since that awful night, she has been very difficult to deal with. Her new step-brother, Michael, and step-sister, Molly are at their wits’ end. Heather’s lies and competitive nature have put a real strain on them. Moving into a big old country house seems to make matters worse. The creepy graveyard nearby isn’t helping either.

In fact, one gravestone in particular seems to stand out. It has Heather’s initials engraved on it. Molly and Michael learn that Heather has become friends with the child’s spirit that lies within the grave. Not only is this creepy to them, but they learn that Heather’s life is in danger.
