On Norra’s 25th birthday, she and her brother inherit the deed to their family's small cabin. With this auspicious birthday, she starts seeing the spirits that have been haunting her brother and father for years. The spirits’ continuous surveillance, and attempts to endanger the family’s home, become unbearable. Through ingenuity, and luck, the family manage to use old maple tree tapping lines to create a force-field around the cabin to render themselves invisible from the spirits.
