Rick Liechti, a twenty-some-year-old German therapist moves to the Mid-U.S. after his sister is murdered by a gunman. Shortly after arriving at his low-cost but nice house, he discovers that the former residents (the Curtis family) had been murdered six months earlier. At 3:00 am that same night, Rick investigates a strange noise only to discover that the ghosts of the Curtis family haunt the hall for an hour every night. A silent pale boy in a hood, the spirit of Arnold Curtis, asks Rick to help find his older sister, Anna, who was kidnapped by the murderer(s). Only by knowing what happened to her will allow the ghosts to rest in peace. Rick, sympathizing with the ghosts, begins his personal investigation to find Anna and the one(s) responsible for the series of murders in the city. During his investigation, Rick crosses paths with a number of people; Suki Muyo (a high school student and family friend of the Curtis’), who believes she is being stalked by the murderer(s); Investigator Gunter, a determined officer of the law under pressure to find the killer(s) and end the blood trail; and Rob, an outlaw, on the path of revenge for the murder of his baby girl and wife eight months ago, caring little for anyone who gets in his way. The truth may be more hellish then any one can bear.
