Some houses keep secrets. This one whispers them.

After the death of his estranged mother, Jimmy Manning returns to his hometown of Broadoaks for the first time in twenty years. He hasn’t come back to pay his respects, but to make sure she is finally gone for good. That, and the fact he’s inherited the family home he hasn’t set foot in since he was sixteen. With his older brother, Jason, missing, and his younger brother, Thomas, the permanent resident of a mental facility, the arrangements all fall on Jimmy.

He would like nothing more than for the house to be gutted and burned down, but when he experiences strange goings on, he wonders if it’s his emotions getting the better of him, or if something paranormal is happening in the house that caused him so much misery.

Then he hears it. The Whisper. Dig.

Jimmy has a decision to make. Turn and leave like he did twenty years ago, or listen to the whisper and trawl through the chaos of his youth to discover the demons buried there.
