At the crossroads of life and death, a young girl must save her family and herself from a hungry angel of death.

Wade House served an important role as a Death Hospital at the turn of the last century, but now it's a creepy old house that Anna Stevens and her family have moved into as they confront their guilt and grieve over the passing of Anna's little sister, Abby. What Anna doesn't know is that 100 years ago Beverly, another girl who grew up in the Death Hospital, watched as Samael, an Angel of Death, came to be corrupted and imprisoned in the hospital.

Now their three tales are woven together as Samael sniffs out Anna and her mom in their grief. He wants to use Anna as his way out of servitude as an angel of death. In her isolation Anna is desperate for Samael to raise her sister from the dead. A power struggle ensues threatening to destroy them both as Anna delves into the shadows of Wade House and her heart to defeat the angel of death.
