The Night House

Beth, a widow, is left alone in the lakeside house her husband built for her after his sudden death. She tries to hold herself together, but nightmares and disturbing visions of a presence in the house begin to haunt her nights, while daylight brings no explanation. Against her friends' advice, she starts going through his belongings in search of answers, and what she finds points to secrets and a mystery she is determined to resolve.
