A frightened, neurotic young wife
A self-centered man with a change of heart
A terrified child
A handsome, mysterious stranger with ambiguous loyalties
A “misty gray thing”

These were to transform a simple visit home into a nightmare for beautiful Yves Petrone -- and transform her beloved House Of The Pines into a chamber of horrors.

What had happened while she had been away? The massive house covered with flowering white vines showed no signs of change -- it looked like the house Yves knew and loved. But inside, something had changed -- a specter of evil had taken possession of them all, forcing them into a nightmare game of hide-and-seek.
