Alice has gone into a horrible spiral, and her life has become truly haunted. She’s been making money by selling videos of herself, attending parties that she hates going to, and drinking until she goes to sleep. She hasn’t spoken to Hannah or Ila ever since they spent that night in the house together.

Alice has horrible memories of that night, but then Ila asks if she will go with them to the house once again. She wants to go far past the sign that says keep out and go over that terrible earth that so many teens have been to before. Despite her fears, Alice knows that she has to go.

Alice goes along with Ila to that same horrible house. Together the two must face down the horrors that went on there, but also will have to try and get over their differences so that they can try and get Hannah back. The House has decided that it is going to try and choose her as its own.
