March 1970: strange happenings of a sinister nature are reported at Highgate Cemetery. Who or what is lurking amongst the gravestones? Why are the foxes dying? The teenage Alan Nesbit is convinced he knows the answer and that he, alone, is being called to rid the cemetery of the evil that resides there. July, present day: Lauren nervously agrees to participate in a séance with her two best friends. The Ouija board spells out a name that none of them has heard of before - Isabelle Hart.
