Depressed and reeling from his wife's recent death, Tom has built up quite a gambling debt. He goes to stay with his wealthy Aunt Florence, hoping that she will write him into her will. When a nasty creditor is nastily adamant that Tom is out of time, he devises a plan with Elodie, the undertaker's daughter, to rob the graves of the rich townspeople buried in the cemetery across the road. After plundering the graves, Tom returns to Aunt Florence's house and events take a dark turn: Tom starts to hear and see strange things that seem to coincident with the deaths of the people he robbed. Even more strangely, he seems to be the only one sensing these things. Is Tom's conscience tricking or pricking him--or is he actually being haunted by those from whom he stole?
