Jack Connors, a disgraced physics professor, along with his emotionally fragile wife are tasked with investigating a secret physics experiment in a run-down country mansion where the results are suggesting that intelligent lifeforms may be appearing from a parallel dimension.
SYNOPSIS:
A scientist ahead of his time, Jack got fired from his teaching position at the University because he was lecturing about life forms that exist in other dimensions. Left on the margins of science, self-publishing books to an alternative audience helped him become a cynic. When his old academic colleague Seamus offers him a job, Jack hopes that it might be a chance for him to get his old job back and regain some respect from the scientific establishment.
The job involves working with a brilliant young student, Kian, who has set up an experiment in his family's estate in the country, Waverly House. The mansion has a reputation of being a haunted house. Young Kian's primary concern is to gain scientific legitimacy for his work and make a name for himself in official circles. Jack's wife Gloria, is a sensitive em-path. As an intuitive person she consistently annoys Jack.
Thinking this an opportunity to save their marriage, Jack invites Gloria along to stay at the country house while he works on the experiment with Kian. Only Gloria is sensitive to the strange perturbations that move through the empty rooms. Kian is not happy to be working alongside Jack as he considers him a a phoney and a failure. When an entity shows up in the experiment both Jack and Kian are shocked. Jack is thrilled to perhaps have his theories be finally corroborated.
However, Kian wants to deny its existence as it will make his experiment in real science a failure. He threatens to pull the plug on the experiment entirely unless Jack denies the existence of the entity. Jack is torn between denying his own theories in order to be accepted back into legitimate science or, if he accepts that the entity exists but is not able to prove it, he will be always considered a quack. To the consternation of Gloria, Jack continues to denying the existence of the life form, even when more of them show up. "But they're trying to communicate," Gloria insists.
Banished from the experiment room, Gloria explores the rest of the house and finds a secret room that houses two skeletons. For now, she keeps their existence to herself. When Gloria begins to channel information from these entities, it is too much for Kian and he pulls the plug on the entire experiment. When Seamus visits for an update, Kean and Jack reach a crisis point. Claiming that Jack and Gloria have turned his pure experiment into a circus, Kian leaves the house.
Jack must then decide whether to quit and maintain whatever respectability he has left or, at Gloria's insistence, to continue his work and further probe the nature and mystery of these multi-dimensional beings. To do so, however, would require them to go outside the purview of science and conduct their experimentation in the old-fashioned style of conducting a seance.
Making a connection between the skeletons in the secret room and the entities appearing in the scientific room, Gloria recruits some tourists to take part in a full-blown séance. Jack is sceptical but goes along to please his wife. Jack is the only one that travels back in time to when the prior owners of the mansion conducted their own séance which opened a portal to allow entry into this world of beings that exist in other dimensions.
Seeing is believing and Jack finally becomes a true believer in his own theories that had created for him so much upset. Once they close the portal and return the haunted house to normality, Jack and Gloria rediscover their connection. Combining their skill-sets that were once a factor of disagreement, they set up professionally to become a house haunting team.
