But the house soon reveals its dark powers, and one by one, it begins to claim them. Friendless Eleanor, fragile and acquainted with poltergeists, may be the house's next target. As the occult forces close in, the remaining three must confront the house's malevolent presence before it's too late. Who will survive the haunting of Hill House?
