Gail Henley, the mother of a simple, everyday American family
inherits a house from her long detached relatives in Ireland.
She convinces her husband, Bill that country life might just be the
thing to help their young son Jason straighten out, so they head
off to the Emerald Isle.
The
"house" turns into an overwhelming mansion. If the Henley's
are to consummate the inheritance, they must live there and support
Gail's great, but despicable Aunt Rita. The family decides to try
living the "gentry life." Jason has other plans, but he
can't help it - he's possessed by his dead great-aunt (Rita's sister)
and keeps conversation with a young girl who, as she describes herself,
is "un-dead." To add to the mix, an old letter tells of
a fortune hidden somewhere on the estate.
