The opening sequence consists of Katie Mill and Eva Townsmen moving into their new home as they adventure into their first year of University. They believe they have found a bargain price for their new home, yet they don’t realise why this is. When an already very curious and weary Eva snoops around their recent investment, she stubbles across countless newspaper clippings and photos discovering the tragedy that had previously occurred in the house. A “posed” Mother of twin daughters had brutally murdered them due to mysterious voices she heard proclaiming “Kill them! Kill them, before their kill you and your husband. We’ve heard them talk about you at night, under their covers, where no one can see.” As Eva discovers more and more about this unfortunate family, she attempts to bring this horrific blood bath to Katie’s attention. Katie encounters these newspaper articles but thinks nothing of it, unlike an anxious Eva who’s keen to find out more.
As Eva begins to research further into the history of the family, paranoia begins to kick in. When attempting to sleep at night she hears hushed whispers and soft slow chants of familiar nursery rhymes. A frighten Eva approaches Katie explaining the worries she has, yet a cynical Katie once again thinks nothing of it and takes advantage of the situation by playing practical jokes on her new roommate. Katie fed up of Eva’s fears decides to spend a few days away from the house with her boyfriend, leaving Eva all alone in their new isolated home. Eva still unable to sleep continuously hears the chants, which start to become louder and more realistic. Eva’s obsession with the death of the twins starts to become a lot more visual. With her catching glimpses of them darting around the house, Katie returns with sympathy for Eva emphasising its all in her head and its just homesickness. Eva overcomes her fears of the new house and enjoys her time at University, while Katie suddenly has vicious thoughts about violently hurting those who are close to her. A thought to be encounter of the twins, leaves Katie having a fit on her bedroom floor with Eva arriving to conduct a last ditch resuscitation to save Katie’s life. Just when the girls believe things couldn’t get any worst, a demented Katie begins to hear the same voice the Mother did all those years ago. Committing untold crimes including killing Eva’s cat and hanging it off the living room chandelier for Eva to find.
A desperate Eva feels past presents are still around the house with unfinished business. With no one to turn to who will believe Eva’s story, she finds comfort in the arms of Robert Fogarty. The father of the murdered twins, who now lives in a remote cottage far from civilisation due to the experience. He informs Eva that if she wishes to save her own life, another must take her place. A reluctant Eva desires not to put such fate upon another person, so takes her own life as a consequence. A revived and startled Katie attempts to carry on with her life in morning. Katie still reluctant to believe the house had any effect on Eva’s outcome, request that her boyfriend Stewart moves in with her permanently. As Katie carries out her first year in University all seems normal, until those hushed whispered and violent thoughts once again start to dictate Katie’s life.
