SYNOPSIS
Synopsis: Fifteen-year-old
Piper Crenshaw knows her house is strange. It’s never needed repairs since it
was built in the 1800s, and the lights flicker in response to things she says.
As if those things aren’t creepy enough, it’s also the place where her mother
committed murder.
To prove she’s not afraid of where
she lives, Piper opens a forbidden door, which hides a staircase that leads to
the ceiling. That’s when the flashbacks of the original residents from 1875
start, including a love affair between two young servants. Each vision pulls
Piper deeper into not only their story, but also her house. Piper confides in
her best friend, Todd, whom she's gradually falling for, but even he doesn't
believe her. At least, not until her house gets axed during a prank, and the
act injures Piper instead, cutting a gash the size of Texas
into her stomach.
Piper realizes her house isn’t
haunted—it’s alive. To sever her link to it, she must unravel the clues in the
flashbacks and uncover the truth about her mother’s crime, before she becomes
part of her house for good.
