Synopsis

Antoine and Zoe find shelter from the rain in an old house in the woods. The house creeps them out, but just as they are about to leave, a policeman arrives. He tells them to stay in the house and lock the doors because there is an escaped prisoner on the run in the area.

The two friends try to stay calm but become increasingly uneasy when strange things start to happen.

Some ghosts can smell fear in reluctant guests.
