Opis

As a successful farmer, Harmon D'arcy employs migrant workers to work his land. One night two of his farm hands, brothers, are out drinking and decide to rob their boss. In the middle of the late night robbery, they awaken D'arcy's beautiful 19 year old daughter, Olivia. While one of the brothers takes D'arcy out to the barn and kills him, the other rapes Olivia. After they have had their way with her, they murder her as well. The two brothers then roll the bodies up in a carpet and haul them out to the junkyard where they bury them. Having successfully pulled off the robbery and subsequent killing, they brazenly take possession of the D'arcy farm.

Forty years later the land is sold to a developer who builds luxury homes on the site. Michael Cunningham and his wife are one of the buyers. They no sooner move in when Michael begins seeing apparitions appearing in his living room. He soon discovers that it is Olivia D'arcy back from the dead, looking for revenge.

During the forty years since their murder of the D'arcy's, the surviving brother has made a success of himself and is now mayor of the very town where he murdered the D'arcys. He feels safe and secure in his position and has no clue what Olivia D'arcy has in store for him
