A woman recovering from a violent crime moves to a small mountain town with her husband and begins seeing disturbing images through the door peephole that might be associated with an old cursed mine.

SYNOPSIS:

During the Halloween season, real estate agent Sam Middleton and his graphic designer wife Valerie Middleton move from Denver to the isolated mountain town of Kettle, Colorado after Valerie is terrorized in a home invasion. They hope the move will calm her PTSD and bring spark back to their marriage, still fragile from a past infidelity on Sam’s part. From the start, Valerie gets the feeling things aren’t all they seem when she finds an old photo of a local mine opening hanging on the wall of the Victorian house, left by the previous owners. Then she meets Xena, an older, nosy neighbor who gives Valerie the creeps.

Valerie befriends Nyah Wilson, a New Orleans transplant who owns the local new age store. When Nyah learns Valerie has moved into the house at the end of Raven Road, she gives Valerie a necklace and talisman to ward off evil, and Valerie is both intrigued and disbelieving. While Sam is away at work, Valerie discovers a strange locked metal door hidden behind antiques in the basement. She then sees Xena head into the forest in the direction of the old Kettle mine. Sam is flippant with Valerie when she mentions these oddities. He’s more pre-occupied with his real estate firm boss Angela Chan, who intrigues him sexually.

When the doorbell rings and the scarred face of a man wearing an eye patch and dressed in Victorian era miner’s clothing peers back at Valerie through the peep hole, Valerie is freaked. Valerie checks security camera recordings, but there’s no sign of the miner. Sam is unsympathetic to her concerns. Valerie stops taking the medication, but doesn’t tell Sam. While Sam is away at a conference, the scarred miner returns, warning her through the peephole and saying, “I see you.” She calls the police but the doorbell cam video shows nothing. Disconcerted, Valerie tries to reach Sam, unaware he’s too busy having sex with a woman he picked up at the conference hotel bar. Something has come over him, possessing him...

Valerie hires a locksmith to open the strange door in the basement, which leads to a dark, creepy tunnel. Valerie closes it back up and blocks it off. She is stopped on the road one evening by Sergeant Chris Buckles, who notices her license plate hanging loose. He fixes her plate and tells her Kettle is a weird place where no one goes outside after dusk, and alludes this is the reason he lives out of town.

One night Valerie goes to the basement in a trance. She opens the tunnel door and steps inside as a strange voice commands her to “Do it…” Sam awakens a short time later with Valerie standing over him holding a knife. Valerie doesn’t remember anything. Sam accuses her of not taking her meds. Distraught, she visits Nyah, who tells Valerie the tunnel may be a portal to the haunted Kettle Mine. She also tells Valerie of an old curse associated with the mine...and with Valerie’s house. A curse involving the mine owner, Elias Monk, his wife, Delia, and her lover, Howard. Elias knew of the affair and threatened to kill Howard. Delia and Howard made plans to kill Monk, but when they confronted him at the mine, their plan backfired and they were all killed in a cave-in, along with Delia’s unborn child. Now Delia’s vengeful, tormented ghost attempts to make wives kill their husbands as a way to fulfill what she could not.

Valerie researches the mine on her computer when the face of Howard, the miner, flashes onto the screen and scares her spitless. The man’s voice warns Valerie not to trust a certain woman, but Valerie doesn’t know who. Nyah? Xena? Angela? Then she receives a cryptic voice message on her cell phone from Nyah, telling her she has new information about the house. When Valerie arrives, Nyah’s shop is on fire and she’s found dead.

A severe snowstorm hits the area and an avalanche closes the one road into town. Sergeant Buckles tells Valerie Nyah’s shop fire was arson. Valerie is shocked to learn that Nyah lived in Valerie’s house as a child until Nyah’s grandmother tried to stab Nyah’s grandfather. Over the years, most people left the house after only two month’s occupancy. Three other women killed their husbands while living there. Valerie confesses what she’s experienced and is surprised when Sergeant Buckles believes her. There’s a spark of attraction between them.

When Valerie catches Sam kissing Angela at a party, she leaves and hears a woman’s voice telling her Sam must be punished. Sam heads home with Angela and finds the tunnel door open. Strange whispers urge him inside. Angela follows and closes the door. Just as Sam comes upon Valerie, Angela morphs into something old, evil...inhuman. Valerie, possessed by the curse, rushes Sam with a knife and hits his shoulder. Angela urges Valerie to kill Sam, but they escape to the basement entrance, only to be locked inside the mine by Xena. Sam tries to stop Angela and Xena, but cannot. Valerie goes to his aid, but Sam puts himself in between her and Angela. A gunshot reverberates and the mine caves in, killing Sam and burying Xena and Angela. Only Valerie makes it out alive.

One year later. Sergeant Buckles and Valerie drive to see her old house in Kettle to get closure. They believe the curse has ended with Sam’s death, but when they drive away, they see a realtor hanging a sold sign on a house across the street. The woman turns as they pass. It’s Angela.

Inside the house, the photo of the mine opening hangs on the wall. Handwritten below the photo: Opening of Kettle Mine. In the photo stands Elias, his wife Delia, who looks just like Angela. And standing behind them is Howard.
