Bereaved of her husband and child, Jessica moves into Hastings Manor as a housekeeper, only to face a vengeful ghost — her friend is pushed down the stairs to death. She and the neighbors uncover that a century ago, illegitimate daughter Penelope was hanged by her father and walled up, her spirit restless. After a failed exorcism claims the neighbor's life, mute girl Bella calls Penelope's name and guides her to rest. Wilson proposes, Bella regains speech, and a new vision foreshadows a sequel.
