The Caleighs have had a terrible year. They need time and space to try as a family to come to terms with whats happened to them. Gabe has brought his wife and daughters to the peaceful seaside village of Hollow Bay. He can work and Eve and the kids can have some peace and quiet ... Crickley Hall is an unusually large house on the outskirts of the village at the bottom of a tree-lined gorge - the stuff of local legend. Its perfect for them - if perhaps a bit gloomy. And Chester their dog does seem really spooked at being away from home. And old houses do make sounds. And its constantly cold. And even though they shut the cellar door every night its always open again in the morning.
