Synopsis/Details: 

Millionaire architect JOE TRABOWLSKI just wants to get away from it all. After recovering from a murder attempt in his city home, he moves into a newly built, self-designed sanctuary in rural England and as far away from the dangers of the city as he can.

But soon after moving in, a series of haunting experiences lead him to discover that his new home has been built on the site of a medieval convent, notorious for torturing 15th Century children.

The terrifying encounters cause Joe to mysteriously start losing his speech, hearing and eyesight - mirroring the torture experienced at the hands of supposedly vicious nuns by one of the children, ELIZABETH HILL.

With the help of a local historian, MIKE ALLEN, and Joe’s teenage daughter EMILY, he slowly accepts the spiritual side of life and concludes that he must find Elizabeth’s final resting place and ‘free’ her spirit so that he - and she - can be at peace.

But after unearthing her resting place - an underground prison specially constructed by the nuns - Joe discovers that Elizabeth’s haunting was a spiritual ruse designed to lead him to her so she can feed and resurrect herself as the same undead, blood-sucking creature that once terrorised the convent.

Will Joe’s new-found faith be strong enough to defeat Elizabeth and save his daughter and his home from a fate worse than death itself?
