When the ritual spirals out of control and the medium dies, the guests cover it up--unaware that leaving the séance unfinished has allowed something dark to cross over.

Newly postpartum, Kristin Dalton soon uncovers a horrifying truth: every family who has lived in this house has died or disappeared. All Curses Are Final On the way to a remote winter cabin, a group of friends stops at a roadside store with a hand-painted warning: "All items cursed. Curse lifted at time of sale."
