Devastated by his betrayal, she attempts suicide in the estate's gazebo. Her spilled blood wakes something evil buried in the plantation soil. By dawn, her husband has disappeared and his mistress has lost her mind. Nova works as the groundskeeper's daughter and has always sensed malevolent presences at Spring House. After the birthday party disaster, she teams up with Blake, Caitlin's former best friend. Together they investigate the supernatural forces now unleashed on the property.
