The teenager Christina, her younger brother Bobby, and their father James Tarling moves to a rented house in a small town in Washington to be close to Christina's mother Joanne, who is interned in an asylum. The house is being repaired by Howie Rhodes and Christina has a boy friend, the bad boy Eddy Duncan. While in the house, Christina hears noises and has a permanent feeling that another person lives there, but her father believes it is the structure being settled. When two teenagers vanishes, the weird sheriff Mark Sklar visits the Tarling family, since the last place the teenagers were seen alive was nearby their home. When a dead body is found in a river close to the house, the sheriff investigates the place, trying to find the guilty for the crime. 译文(2): 十几岁的克里斯蒂娜、她的弟弟鲍比和父亲詹姆斯·塔林搬到了华盛顿一个小镇上的一栋租来的房子里，以便靠近克里斯蒂娜的母亲乔安妮。乔安妮当时正在精神病院接受治疗。这栋房子正在由豪伊·罗兹进行修缮，克里斯蒂娜有一个男朋友，就是那个坏男孩艾迪·邓肯。在房子里，克里斯蒂娜听到一些声音，她总觉得有人住在那里，但她的父亲认为那只是房子正在修缮。当两个青少年失踪后，奇怪的警长马克·斯克拉尔拜访了塔林一家，因为这两个青少年最后被看到活着的地方就在他们家附近。当一具尸体在房子附近的河里被发现时，警长调查了这个地方，试图找出罪犯。
