Caroline is a twenty-five-year-old hospice worker who cares for the
ailing and the elderly, a job designed to atone for her own mistake for
ignoring her dying father in the past, when she had been a rock 'n' roll
manager. After her latest charge passes away, Caroline takes a job in
Louisiana, caring for Ben, a stroke-victim who is bed-ridden and cannot
speak. But Caroline becomes suspicious of the house, and Ben's cold
wife, Violet only adds to the creepy atmosphere. After acquiring a
skeleton key, Caroline makes her way into a secret room within the attic
where she discovers hair, blood, bones, spells, and other instruments
for practicing hoodoo. Violet says she has never been in the secret
room, but that the items probably belonged to the original owners' two
houseworkers, who practiced black magic and were lynched as a result.
Noting that Ben had his stroke in the attic after entering the room,
Caroline is determined to unlock the secrets of the house, and rescue
Ben from the horrors that hold him captive within.
