Through hard work and fiscal cunning, single mother Margaret Cole has secured a comfortable living for herself and for her teenaged son. - Or has she? There is more to comfort than having plenty of money. Margaret suffers from bouts of depression, and she has alienated almost everyone from her life except her son. With her son maturing into an independent young adult, Margaret feels him drifting away. What she needs is a new project for her and her son to bond over. Margaret purchased this project at an auction. It is the dilapidated El Dorado Lodge, a brooding eyesore placed precariously close to the edge of a cliff, with a three-thousand-foot drop.

To prepare the El Dorado for its grand re-opening, Margaret and her son Johnny, move into the El Dorado for a month long stay. Johnny is anxious about having to spend a month in the El Dorado. It is rumored to be haunted. Plagued by a frightful memory, Johnny recalls an encounter he had when he was five. She was an intruder standing in the hallway leading to his mother's bedroom. She was a child in white, without a mouth. Johnny insists that this memory was only a dream. He tells himself the only home a ghost ever had, was in someone's head. If only he could convince himself, that that is true. The paranormal phenomena Johnny encounters in the El Dorado would have him believe otherwise.

Johnny has enough to worry about without dreading the undead. His mother's mental health is deteriorating before his eyes. He is afraid of her. He is afraid for her. Johnny is not alone though. He can count on having just a little help from his friends, and his two-hundred and twenty-five-pound St. Bernard 'Atlas'.
