The movie opens with a scene from the point-of-view of a psychotic killer in a night-dress, killing first their mother and then father with a hammer in the middle of a stormy night. The events are blurred and warped as if the killer is deranged or drugged.
Four years later, a newly divorced woman, Sarah (Elisabeth Shue), and her daughter Elissa (Jennifer Lawrence) find the house of their dreams in a small upscale town. But when startling events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret. As told by the neighbors: 4 years earlier, in the house next door, a girl named Carrie-Ann killed her parents in their bed and disappeared, leaving only a brother, Ryan (Max Thieriot), as the sole survivor who at the time was looking after his ailing aunt far away. Carrie-Ann ran into the woods after the double murder and was living there, and, though her body was never found, it was believed that she drowned. Ryan now lives alone in the house; the neighborhood hates the house as it drives down their property values. Weaver (Gil Bellows), a local police officer, appears to be Ryan's only supporter.
