## Synopsis

This is a beautifully shot atmospheric film, it has good acting from very young stars. It is set in the early 80's, and it is about a blended family, both sides have suffered traumas.

    The parents, Jean & Dave, are not traditional. Dave is a writer, he thinks the move to the country will inspire him. Jean is a painter, and she doesn't lack inspiration in their new home.

Jean's children are Molly and Michael. Molly's the oldest at 15, and Michael's around 12. He's very bright, but his mind is totally focused on the sciences, which can make him a bit closed-minded.

Molly loves music, is very emotional, and is always writing in her journal. She was very close with her father, who had mental problems, and committed suicide. Since hiOKs death, she's lost. Molly misses him, but she's also terrified she will inherit his issues, and her mother worries about this as well.

And then there's Heather. She is Dave's daughter, and the youngest at nine.
Dave has had her in a *special school* since her mother passed in a fire. Heather blames herself for the tragedy, and suffers with the memories every day. She has been at this school for years, but is still a loner.

And last but not least is Helen. She's been here a long time. She also suffered a terrible tragedy, but is this trauma causing her to do terrible things, or is she just desperate to be with someone who understands?

This motley crew of unique characters, and the beautiful fall atmosphere, showcases the strange, isolated church and the surrounding creepy woods. This setting is perfect for a good old-fashioned ghost story.
