The abandoned home of Wilfred Butler, a wealthy but troubled man who committed suicide in 1987, has been willed to his grandson, Jeffrey. The house has sat in disarray since Wilfred`s death, standing in the way of developers who want to turn the property into residential homes. Just before Christmas 2012, many years after Wilfred`s death, Jeffrey and his lawyer appear in town to negotiate the sale of the property. But an Axe wielding maniac has set up residence in the house, and he doesn`t take kindly to strangers.
