Everything seems to be fine when newly-divorced Rachel Easton (Jeri Ryan) and her two daughters, Lizzie (Kay Panabaker) and Molly (Peyton List) move from downtown Detroit (Michigan) into a 100-year-old Dutch Revival house in the nearby suburb of Ferndale...until Molly begins hearing strange sounds and seeing visions of a crying girl and Lizzie begins having "nightmares". Soon, Rachel starts seeing strange things, too. Rachel's psychic co-worker Belle (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) advises her to search the house, and Rachel finds the skeleton of 17-year-old Greta Friedrich (Jordan Trovillion), apparently buried alive in the wall in the 1950s. Belle attempts to release her spirit, but Greta has another idea.

Secrets in the Walls is a made-for-TV horror movie. The screenplay was written by screenwriters William Penick and Chris Seyk.

Now believing that Greta has possessed Lizzie's body, Rachel pretends not to know and invites "Lizzie" to go house-hunting with her. On the way, she stops at the house to pick up a trunk. Greta/Lizzie is apprehensive about going in the house, but she eventually agrees to help Rachel carry it out to the car. Once inside, Rachel asks Greta/Lizzie whether she remembers why she was named Lizzie. When Greta/Lizzie can't answer, Rachel confronts her, and they begin to struggle. In the fight, Greta/Lizzie falls down the staircase, and the necklace is knocked off her neck, allowing Lizzie's spirit to re-enter her body. When she comes to, Lizzie answers the question. "You named me Elizabeth because she was strong," Mother and daughter hug. Some days later, as Rachel, Lizzie, and Molly are moving out of the house and the realtor is showing it to a new family, Rachel attempts to warn the family that the house is haunted but the husband says that they don't believe in ghosts. "You should," Rachel replies. In the final scene, as the prospective buyers enter the house, telling the realtor that they have two teenage daughters, Greta can be seen looking out of an upstairs window.
