It took courage for Melanie to return to her old home. The beautiful plantation that had once been a paradise to her is now crumbling and decrepit. Then Melanie's Aunt Addie begins to have haunting nightmares, and suddenly everyone wants Melanie out. Even the handsome Cale, who claims to love her, urges her to leave. But Melanie's suspicions are aroused - she's sure that the horror is not all in her aunt's imagination. And she learns, though perhaps too late, she is right.
