In a sleepy Northern Californian town there is one nightmarish house, the Old Mortuary, where the mortician's wife has spent four decades alone – and some would say insane – harboring terrible secrets and sleeping in an alcove off one bedroom where she believes the evil spirit of the house cannot get to her.
