Kylie Bucknell is a dark and slightly aimless reprobate who is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Kylie left home several years ago and isn't particularly thrilled about going back. Her step-father Graeme is an emotionally repressed shift-worker and her mother Miriam is an incessant gossip who's convinced that the house is haunted. Kylie passes her mother's ghost stories off as a delusion to distract her from her otherwise mundane existence. But when Kylie herself soon becomes privy to strange voices in the night and figures lurking in the shadows, her skepticism weakens.
