The creepy plantation in her small North Carolina town is not where she thought her friend would get married and she certainly never wanted to set foot again on the Woodsman Plantation. She really would like to forget the last time she was there and how it broke apart her relationship with her other best friend Jesse. The plantation has been turned into something of a tourist attraction adding a fun look at plantation life which could not be further than the truth. Mira feels the evil almost from day one and when the bride goes missing she cannot ignore the whispers and strange things she is seeing.
The time for fun is over and the ghosts have revenge on their mind making the children pay for the sins of the father. Laced with recollections of the horrors that the slaves faced at the hands of their white masters this is historical horror wrapped up in an atmospheric gothic story of ageless revenge. This will appeal more to lovers of dark ghost stories more so than stories of slavery but it does a good job of pointing out how we mask places of violence and abuse and call it a historical landmark. 4 stars
