Plot summary
Alice Evans needs to finish a screenplay and has not been able to work on it since her boyfriend, Ben, tried to kill her. A producer friend offers her the Victorian house he has just bought so she can focus, and she insists on staying there on her own. Rebecca agrees to leave her there, though she is reluctant. Once alone, Alice hears noises she cannot explain and comes to believe the house holds the ghost of a murdered woman. She searches the rooms and climbs into the attic, where she finds a box of mini-DV tapes. The tapes show a young couple, Lucy and David Woods, talking about their new baby and their life in the house. Alice asks Rebecca to research the couple for her.
