Johnny, a young musician, discovers there is more than meets the eye when he inherits a mysterious new home from his deceased mother. An otherworldly presence in the house makes itself known in the forms of eerie ghosts and materializing spirits. After some investigation, Johnny receives a message from beyond the grave.
