The Presence

Liam, a young journalist, is desperately seeking quiet to write his book. He finds the perfect offer: a large old house in the isolated town of Blackwood Creek, for an incredibly low rent. The owner, Mr. Gable, has only one rule: the basement door must remain locked. Always. At first, the house is perfect. Silent. Peaceful. Then, the noises begin. Faint scratching inside the walls. The sound of breathing in the dark hallway. And a terrible, constant feeling... the feeling of being watched. Liam realizes the house has a secret, just like the town. But while trying to uncover the truth about "The Presence," he discovers that the locked door wasn't there to keep something from getting out. It was there to keep Liam from getting in.
