Plot

A young woman bravely travels up to her dead Aunts cabin for creative inspiration. Jessie gets more than she bargained for, when she soon realizes she is not alone. Confronted by evil spirits, she is forced to fight for her life.

Jessie is a horror writer with all-too-familiar writer's block. When her boyfriend Brian suggests a vacation to the cabin her late aunt had left her, she instead decides to head there alone. She believes it will give her the inspiration she lacks for her writing.

Early on, before even arriving at the cabin, the townspeople give Jessie strange, fearful looks.

George is the caretaker of the cemetery and helped Jessie's late aunt whenever and however he could. Jessie had called him to make sure the cabin was still available. It indeed was, and he took Jessie to it and promised to check in on her now and again.

After cleaning the cabin up a bit, Jessie notices a decrepit, dilapidated doll lying on the floor of a closet. She places it on the shelf in the closet and goes on about her business.

The doll somehow finds its way into Jessie's path, and does so many times thereafter.

One day, while out on a run, Jessie comes upon a young girl humming in the woods. She looks at the girl, smiles, and then goes home. Soon, there's a knock at the door. It's the little girl. Her name is Leah and it turns out she knew Jessie's aunt well. After talking Leah into walking to the store in town with her, Jessie learns that her late aunt talked about her all the time to Leah.

While in town, Jessie comes across yet another resident of the small town; Evelyn, her late aunt's nurse. She, too, looks at Jessie with a look of dreadful memories. She tries to scurry along home, but Jessie stops her, trying to find out why she's been looked at so fearfully. The nurse said very little, but mentioned that evil had something to do with her aunt's death -- not an accident, which is what the official cause had been.

After yet another crossing of paths with the ugly doll, Jessie notices a tag on the back of it. It has the name of the store it was purchased at on it. She gets the address for the business and finds her way to it.

The owner had been there for nearly four decades. She talks Jessie into buying a small oil-burning lamp filled with concentrated holy water. While there, Jessie asks her about the doll and inquires as to whether or not the woman remembered it.

She remembered it, alright. She wished she had never taken it in or sold it. It had been purchased by a woman whose house had burned to the ground along with all occupants inside. All that had survived had been that doll. Nothing and no one else had. The conversation ended shortly thereafter as the store owner no longer considered Jessie welcome there. She couldn't get back to tending the store fast enough.

Strange happening after strange happening within the cabin began to wear on Jessie. The constant appearing of the doll, the grandfather clock that would set its own time, the voice of a priest performing an exorcism, the appearance out of nowhere of a disheveled and cold, sexy siren at her door, visions of erotic embrace followed by demonic bloodlust...the list was endless.

Jessie had , just before, finally called her boyfriend Brian to ask him to come to the cabin after all. He arrived the next night with a young couple in tow -- Max and Marie. They all spent the night talking, smoking joints and drinking. Jessie and Brian drift off to sleep on the couch as Max and Marie shimmy off to have some "together time." In the midst of this sexual liaison, Marie swears she saw something. Max gets up to look and finds nothing. The moment decidedly passed, he goes to take care of business while Marie sits, still shaken, on the bed.

She then hears glass break and discovers a picture from the wall had fallen. Behind that picture she found news clippings. As she eagerly and wonderingly looks through them, Jessie wanders in to check on the couple.

Marie shows her the clippings and Jessie's eyes light up with fear. The beautiful blonde stranger that had appeared at her door had gone missing some years before, along with a friend. An exorcism had been performed on a little girl, and a few other sordid stories. Then they hear a scream. Max was no longer anywhere to be found.

They rush to wake up Brian and he insists that he will go find him; that he's probably just drunk and playing yet another prank, as he is wont to do. Shortly thereafter, they hear another scream -- Brian's. Now Jessie goes to investigate as Marie stays back at the cabin.

Searching in the direction of her boyfriend's screams, she happens upon he and Max, both. They are dead. She hurriedly makes her way back to the cabin to find Marie. She had been dragged kicking and screaming to her death as well.

Just as Jessie happens upon Marie, there stands Leah right behind her lifeless body. Leah is not herself, however. She's been possessed by an evil spirit. This spirit has jumped from place to place over time, it turns out. The spirit inside of Leah explains it all...

Jessie, herself, had been the exorcized girl from the news clipping. The evil spirit had gone to the doll, which had then been given to Leah. The cycle had come full circle and was ready to return to what it considered it's rightful home; Jessie.

Jessie was going to be no part of this plan. She fought off and killed Leah, whose small and innocent body had just the host for this spawn of Satan. But just before what seemed to be her dying breath, she thanked Jessie.

Jessie grabbed her phone and called George, the caretaker, to please get there as soon as possible. While on this call, the spirit reanimated Leah and came after Jessie with a vengeance.

As the evil entity, in the form of Leah, lifted and choked the life out of Jessie, she reached for the holy water-filled lamp. Just before she reached it, "Leah" extinguished the flame with a single blow. Concentrating on what filled the lamp, Jessie continued her reach.

Finally within her grasp, she flung the lamp at the demon before her. The holy water did as expected and began to eat through the skin of Leah and all her body contained. Falling too close to the fireplace, she became engulfed.

Screaming and flailing, she finally succumbed, fell and disintegrated.

As all this unfolded, George had arrived. He cradled Jessie and walked her away from the Hell behind them.

George was, after all, the caretaker.
