Mark Norman has never had much luck-until he lands a job as live-in aide to two eccentric, elderly siblings hidden away in Alden Manor, a crumbling mansion frozen in time. Roy and Alma Walgrave, once famous stage magicians, are wealthy, peculiar, and disturbingly careless with their fortune. Mark quickly imagines himself as their heir, weaving dreams of an easy inheritance if he can just keep them happy.
But the house has other plans.
When Lisa, a fellow employee, warns that something evil festers within the manor's walls, Mark dismisses her as paranoid, until the shadows begin to stir. Nightmares close in. Strange happenings escalate. The Walgraves' past isn't just odd; it's dangerous. And as Alden Manor's secrets tighten around him, Mark must face the terrifying truth: staying could cost him his sanity...or his life.
Still, the lure of unimaginable wealth keeps him tethered. Mark has always known when to cut and run. But this time, walking away might be harder than surviving.
