Alone one night, Dani Odello-Timmis, the wife of psychiatrist Ted Timmis, is brutally murdered while renovating the couple's newly acquired country house.

Several days later, Darcy arrives unexpectedly at the country house where Ted now resides with his new girlfriend Yana, a pharmaceutical representative.

Yana is frightened when she notices the mannequin inexplicably moving positions, and drops her cell phone from an upstairs landing, destroying it.

Upon examining the mannequin, Yana finds several strange objects inside holes in its head, including photographs of Dani and Darcy, locks of hair, a tooth, and a vial of blood.

After observing what appears to be Dani's apparition in the house, Yana panics and manages to flee after finding her car keys inside the crate the mannequin was transported in.

Rather, it was Ted who arranged Dani's murder by enlisting the help of Ivan, a brutish orderly at the psychiatric hospital, so he could be with Yana and not lose the house in divorce.

Inside is a call bell that Darcy had earlier shown him, which she indicated was haunted by the ghost of a bellhop who died in a local hotel and kills whoever rings it.
