While trying to get their lives back on track after the loss of their four-year-old son, Bryn (Teri Polo) and Paul Shaw (David Rees Snell) move to the charming old Beacon Apartments. Bryn begins to see a ghostly little boy skulking around the building. With the help of an eccentric young professor and a tough old beat cop, Bryn tries to uncover the details of the boy s death. She hopes that freeing the child will allow him to carry a message to her son, but too late she realizes another malevolent entity stalks the halls of the Beacon: one that doesn t want the boy to escape.
