Summary | In 1853 president-elect Franklin Pierce is traveling with his family to Washington, DC. Tragedy strikes when their train runs off the rails, violently flinging passengers about the cabin, but killing only the President-elect's beloved son, Bennie, which casts Franklin's presidency in a pall of sorrow and grief. As Franklin moves into the White House, he begins to notice strange sounds coming from the walls and ceiling, creepy voices that seem to echo out of time itself, and visions of spirits crushed under the weight of American history. But when First Lady Jane Pierce brings in the most noted Spiritualists of the day, the Fox sisters, for a séance, the barrier between this world and the next is torn apart. Something horrible comes through and takes up residence alongside Franklin and Jane in the walls of the mansion itself. Only by overcoming their grief and confronting their darkest secrets can Jane and Franklin hope to rid themselves-and America-from the entity that seeks to make the White House its permanent home. |
