Description
Tori Burns and her family have inherited a house in Chaptico, Maryland, under mysterious circumstances. This unexpected move puts Tori at odds with the entire town, particularly Jesse Slaughter and his family, who claim the land as their own. As tensions rise, so does the pressure inside Tori, leading to a return of self-harm that landed her in hospital. However, things take a shocking turn when she witnesses a young man clawing his way out of a grave under the oak tree in her backyard. Nathaniel Bishop is drawn to Tori by their shared sense of loss, but his presence sets off a string of troubling events, including the disappearance of Jesse's cousin. As Tori digs for the truth and slowly falls for Nathaniel, she uncovers dark secrets about the Slaughter family tree that threaten to break a curse. The Slaughters will stop at any cost to keep these secrets buried.
