Plot
While trying to get their lives back on track after the loss of their four-year-old son, Bryn and Paul Shaw move to the charming old Beacon Apartments. Bryn begins seeing a ghostly little boy skulking around the building. With the help of an eccentric young professor and a tough old beat cop, Bryn tries to uncover the details of the boy's death, hoping that freeing him will allow him to carry a message to her son. She then realizes a second, malevolent entity stalks the Beacon's halls, one that doesn't want the boy to escape.
