OverviewA house of dreams. A place of nightmares. Lacey has longed for a home of her own all her life. When she views a dilapidated Victorian property on an exquisite tree-lined street, she falls in love. She believes that soon its beautiful sunlit rooms will be filled with the joy of the new family she will build there. But the house doesn't want her. Beneath the dark stairway, at the bottom of the shadowy hall, there lies a secret: for decades, no child has survived this house, no woman has emerged anything less than broken. Lacey has made a mistake. Now she must fight to survive it - and to save those she loves most.
