A young pair of migrant workers find that the home that they have fallen in love with harbors a dark secret malevolent evil. When the Cromiers stumble across a beautiful antebellum home situated in the deep recesses of Louisiana, their excitement of finding such a perfect home to raise a family leaves them filled with joy. That joy soon turns to an increasingly ominous sense of dread, however, when a series of deeply disturbing and decidedly supernatural events lead the pair to realize they aren't the only ones who want to claim the picturesque home as their own.
