Introduction:

The story centers around Matt Campbell, a teenager who is being treated for cancer with a trial therapy in a remote hospital. Matt’s mother, Sarah, rents a house near the hospital; she learns that the house was previously a funeral home. Subsequently, they discover a door inside Matt’s room in the basement, which severely burns Matt when he attempts to enter one night. Sarah finds old photographs from when the house was used as a funeral home. Later, the door in Matt’s room swings open as Matt wakes during the night, revealing a mortuary room. Matt experiences visions; during dinner as they link hands to say grace, he sees a vision of a séance from the point of view of a young man named Jonah (Erik J. Berg) . After his vision of the séance, Matt recites a rhyme to his cousin Wendy that disturbs her. The next day Matt has a vision of crabs crawling across the floor and over his body. Matt then meets Reverend Nicholas Popescu, who talks with him and gives him a contact card. That evening, the power cuts whilst Matt’s little cousin is playing in her room, and a withered hand appears behind her after the light flickers off and on.
