Jules minimiza sus miedos asegurando que no son más que inofensivas historias de fantasmas... Hasta que al día siguiente, Ingrid desaparece y Jules se sumerge en el sórdido pasado del Bartholomew, pero también en su aterrador presente, para descubrir lo que ocurrió con su amiga y escapar antes de que su estatus de residente temporal se convierta en permanente.
