When historian Daniel Carter moves into the long abandoned Whitaker house to restore it, he begins hearing footsteps and finding small footprints that no living person could have made. His search for answers leads him to the tragic story of Clara Whitaker, a young girl who was secretly locked in the attic by her father and forgotten. By opening the house and freeing her spirit at last, Daniel ends the haunting and gives the restless child the peace she had waited decades to find.
