The House: Lush and deceptively tranquil, with its pristine beaches and blossoming vegetation, the island basks in splendid isolation from the SC coast. Here, where sudden storms unleash the murderous rage of wind and sea, stands the Devereaux mansion, a once-great plantation home right now crumbling amid historic oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Right here, Marguerite Devereaux, fifty and childless, has cast off her dreams to look after her aged, demanding mother.

The Family: At this point, for the first about The Unloved time in two decades, Kevin Devereaux has returned home to this secluded place along with his wife and two children. They have come to go to Kevin”s mom – hated, frightening Mom, with her slash of red lipstick, cover up of bone-white powder, and a tongue which has usually cut to Kevin”s heart…and into his darkest nightmares. She said she was ill – but is that the true reason the outdated woman summoned the son she has not seen in so many years?

The Horror: Suddenly, horribly, Mother dies in the locked nursery. And now you will see no escape. For the present time, all of the secrets of the once-proud southern family members emerge like tortured spirits through the sinister former to cover their evil round the unsuspecting children. Until, in the shadowed corridors and dust-covered areas of this decaying old house, they learn the real terror from the Unloved.
