During the long winter months of 1973, the lives of 12 individuals were taken by a bloodthirsty serial kill known as Walter "OLD MAN" Bowden. Bowden murdered his own wife, and then his son, when he found out what Walter was doing and tried to call the police. Before the police could catch him however, Bowden took his own life by hanging himself. During the years that followed, no one moved into the Bowden house - until now. In December of 2003, Linda and Michael Harris move in with the hopes of starting a family, but something just isn't right in their beautiful new home.
