Waiting to terrorize new inhabitants. Waiting to feed. A young couple and their daughter envision a new life, a dream reno, and a place to lay down roots. The Cottage has roots of it's own, and they quickly discover there is far, far more than meets the eye here. But determined to fufill their dream they defy the spirits and stay.
