Eric and his girls are on the run from something. When the chance to stay at the spite house for a large sum of money comes up, he can't pass it up. He knows that there has to be something wrong with the spite house for the owner to pay him so much money, but he brings his girls along anyway. He has experience with the supernatural and he thinks he can handle it.
As soon as they arrive at the house it's clear that something otherworldly is going on there. The house itself seems to want to keep them forever. There are also children and an old man stuck there that are very mean and will do anything to capture the people that come along.
Eunice the owner of the house will do anything it takes to learn the secrets of the house. She believes that there is something in there that will help her survive longer than any other member of her family. If only she can figure out how the house works.
