Leonard Hartman is a saint in a church filled with vampires. Leonard is a soft-spoken and easy-going 35-year-old developmentally challenged man who rents a room in East Dayton, Ohio, from a retired postal worker. And he's come to the realization that the world around him is nothing more than a functioning corpse. The drug-infested area in which he lives holds more than a few challenges for him, and now he has unwittingly fallen prey to two neighborhood thugs-along with a recovering drug addict, Janice Swanson-and been pulled into a life-threatening situation. But the unknown factor about Leonard is one that no one would ever expect-it's his ability to fight back
Camilla S nchez is a quiet 17-year-old who is uncomfortable being around large groups of people. She takes a big risk when she asks a popular student, Akio Amari, who is extroverted and likes to be around a lot of people, to go to the prom. The fact that her sister was late getting to the car, coupled with Elizabeth bringing him up, finally prompted her to make a move. There are a lot of things that come about because somebody else does something to bring two people together. She had been thinking about talking to him but never had the courage to do so. But faced with the perfect situation after school, she feels it's now or never.
IN 1891, THE POTTS ORPHANAGE WAS FOUNDED BY CAROLINE POTTS IN THE WAKE OF HER LATE HUSBAND. THERE WAS AN ORPHAN WHO GREW VERY FOND OF CAROLINE. HER NAME WAS ISABELLE. AND MS. POTTS BECAME EXTREMELY ENAMORED WITH THE GIRL. IN A SHORT TIME, CAROLINE HAD GROWN TO LOVE ISABELLE AS IF SHE WERE HER CHILD. IT WAS A MAGICAL TIME IN THE ORPHANAGE FOR THE SMALL CHILDREN LIVING THERE WITH CAROLINE. YET, SADLY, THEIR REFUGE EVOLVED INTO A NEGATIVE DWELLING PLACE. AFTER A FEW SHORT MONTHS OF OPERATION, CAROLINE KILLED THE DEPRIVED CHILDREN SHE HAD SWORN TO PROTECT. AND EVEN THE BELOVED ISABELLE FELL VICTIM TO THIS WRATH. CAROLINE WAS FOUND GUILTY WITHOUT A TRIAL AND SHE WAS HUNG FROM A LARGE OAK RIGHT BEHIND THE HOME HER HUSBAND BUILT WITH HIS OWN HANDS. THE TOWNSPEOPLE OF AUTUMN CREEK BURIED CAROLINE'S REMAINS INSIDE THE ESTATE. BUT HER EVIL SPIRIT NEVER LEFT THE GROUNDS. AND THE INNOCENT CHILDREN WHO WERE BRUTALLY MURDERED STILL REMAIN. IN LATE 2014, THE POTTS ESTATE SAT ABANDONED JUST OUTSIDE OF GORDAN, OHIO IN ITS RURAL LANDSCAPE. THE MANSION HAD BEEN CHOSEN FOR AN EVP SESSION DUE TO REPORTS OF A LONG HISTORY OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. VOLUNTEERS FROM A NEIGHBORING UNIVERSITY WERE SELECTED WITH ASSISTING A LOCAL PARANORMAL RESEARCH TEAM TO DOCUMENT THE EVENT. THE INVESTIGATION WAS SET FOR A FRIDAY NIGHT AND WOULD LAST UNTIL DAWN. AS THE NIGHT ADVANCES, THE 18TH-CENTURY GOTHIC MANSION SOON BECOMES A HOUSE OF HORROR FOR ANYONE TRAPPED INSIDE. ON THIS COLD AUTUMN NIGHT, A FRIENDLY GUISE IS JUST A MASK FOR THE MALEVOLENT, AND A HORRIFIC EXPERIMENT IS A CATALYST FOR THE SUPERNATURAL AND THE MACABRE.
