But peace came at a price, and one hundred and seventy years later Shantell and her friends are about to discover where all that darkness ended up. When Shantell's best friend, Avery, inherits a house big enough to make their dreams of a sanctuary come true, she's too cautious to be optimistic. A lifetime of loss - her father to the Iraq war, her brother to police violence, and her mother to suicide - has taught her cynicism, and even though Avery swears the house has never experienced a tragedy, she goes along expecting everything from black mold to evil spirits. But not only is the house in better shape than they'd expected, it makes them better too: Shantell's anxiety stops flaring up, terminally shallow Avery is suddenly capable of deeper emotions. Tobias, Avery's older brother and their contractor for the job, even stops chain smoking. There's an eeriness to the calm, and it's almost a relief when they realize they do not walk alone in Abernathy House. If nothing bad has never happened here, where are all these ghosts coming from?
