While exploring the sprawling estate, the young girl discovers a hidden basement, undisturbed since the strange disappearance of the mansion's builder a century ago. When Sally unwittingly lets loose a race of ancient, dark-dwelling creatures who conspire drag her down into the mysterious house's bottomless depths, she must convince Alex and Kim that it's not a fantasy before the evil lurking in the dark consumes them all.
