The film stars Abbie Cornish as a young mother struggling with memory lapses related to her troubled childhood.
Co-stars include Dermot Mulroney, Justin Long, Diego Klattenhoff, Peyton Kennedy and Lola Flanery.
She has a strained relationship with her husband Alan and their young daughter Alice, partly because she has memory lapses.
A clerk at a local antiques store shows her a framed page of a 1985 newspaper, detailing the massacre of her family and the suspicion that Jane was responsible.
Alice tells Alan that the girl warned her about the monster in the bedroom, while a nice lady taught her the "Lavender" song.
She finds a music box in Susie's room, containing the other half of the torn family photo, revealing Liam to be Jane's father.
Jane finally remembers what happened the night her family died: The sisters heard Patrick enter the house and hid under the bed, but Patrick pulled Susie out and was preparing to molest her when their parents arrived home (Jennifer, her mother, who turns out to be the antiques store clerk).
Patrick finds Susie dead of her asthma attack, so he places the hammer in Liam's hand and leaves.
Adult Jane sits with Liam, who explains that the family's spirits were trapped and could only lead her to the truth so she could set them free.
