1592 Salem Massachusetts, MORTIMER GILES has been declared a witch and is sentenced to death by crushing, at the hands of Magistrate EZEKIEL HAWTHORNE. Upon his death, Mortimer vows revenge on Ezekiel and his descendants.

Fast forward to present day where a quirky 40s something couple, GEORGE an insurance salesman and LAURA HAM an ex-cop, move into the house of their dreams near the location where Mortimer was executed over 400 years earlier. While playing in the woods behind their house, CODY (7) disturbs Mortimer’s grave, awakening the trapped and enraged spirit. Meanwhile, their tomboyish daughter SCARLETT befriends a teen boy DANTE HAWTHORNE while at school.

Strange and sinister events begin to occur at the Ham House shortly after their move in. George calls on an old college friend, Darnell, “BULLET” Jackson, a paranormal investigator, to help resolve the supernatural occurrences. Things escalate exponentially when the full apparition of Mortimer manifests and traps the family in the house.

Dante the descendant of Ezekiel, must confront Mortimer and help free the Ham family from the possessed house.
