SYNOPSIS Mysterious accidents befall a family on a farm in depression-era Connecticut resulting in the death of a beloved father and a cherished twin brother. But when nine-year-old Niles begins to see and speak to his twin, Holland, the remaining family members, including concerned grandmother Ada (Uta Hagen), can only wait in terrified anticipation for more tragedies to occur... as it slowly dawns on them that the accidents may not be accidental after all.
