When Ryan, Josh and Chelle miss the return bus from Magwhite, they know they're in serious trouble. Magwhite, a run down place, is out of bounds to them at the best of times. However, madcap Josh has a plan for any eventuality. He climbs down a well and retrieves enough coins to pay for a new fare home. And you'd think that would be the end of it. Not so. Within days, all three children are suffering disturbing consequences. Peculiar, burning warts appear on Ryan's hand and he starts to have strange visions. Josh resonates a static energy that interferes with electrical appliances and Chelle's mind is filled with the thoughts of others. Still worse, something is making her speak them aloud.
