For Sarah and Patrick, family life has always been easy. But when Sarah´s mother dies, it sends her into a downwards spiral. Knowing they need a fresh start, Patrick moves the family to the idyllic, beach-side house he grew up in.

But there is a catch: while for Patrick their new home carries only happy memories, to everyone else it´s ´the Murder House´ - named for the family killed there. Patrick is adamant they can make it perfect again, though with their children plagued by nightmares and the odd ´gifts´ arriving on the doorstep, Sarah´s not so sure.

And the longer they live in their ´dream home´, the more different Sarah´s kind, loving husband becomes. Soon Sarah starts to wonder what secrets hide beneath its walls, and if they are secrets Patrick has been hiding his whole life . . .
