When A., the European relative of the Wells family, inherits a beautiful, yet eerie, estate set deep in the woods of Point Bless, Virginia, it comes as a surprise to everyone. A. never knew he had a "second cousin, twice removed" in America, much less that his relative committed suicide by jumping out of the third floor window --- at the same age and in the same way as his father before him. A. and his companion,Niamh, arrive in Virginia and quickly come to feel as if they have inherited much more than just a home. Axton House is haunted…they know it…but the presence of a ghost is just the first of a series of disturbing secrets they slowly uncover.
