The premise
Bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, unable to cope after his wife's sudden death, returns to the couple's lakeside retreat in Maine, where he becomes involved in a custody battle between a young widow and her child's enormously wealthy grandfather. Mike inexplicably receives mysterious ghostly visitations, escalating nightmares and the realization that his late wife still has something to tell him.
Horror Vault's take
When a grieving bestselling novelist retreats to his secluded Maine lakehouse to escape writer's block and heartbreak, he finds the property haunted by far more than memories. Strange visions, escalating nightmares, and whispered messages from beyond pull him deeper into the dark history buried beneath the tranquil surface of the community. A bitter custody dispute involving a young widow and a powerful local patriarch draws him further into webs of old sin and suppressed secrets. Pierce Brosnan leads this Stephen King adaptation where the dead refuse to stay quiet until the truth is unearthed.
