Az óceánra néz, saját strandja van - és rettenetes titka. Az Ocean Drive 7. szám alatti, kastélynak is beillő ház hátborzongató titkokat rejt: számos megoldatlan gyilkosságot követtek el itt. A népszerű üdülőhelyen elhagyatottan álló épületet a helybeliek nagy ívben kerülik, és úgy nevezik: a Gyilkos Ház. Jenna Murphy hosszú évek óta nem járt már errefelé. Az egykori New York-i zsaru zaklatott múltja elől próbál megszökni, azonban nem is sejti, hogy a hely, ahol valamikor felnőtt, a gonoszság melegágya lett. Amikor azonban az ismert hollywoodi ügynököt és a szeretőjét holtan találják a Gyilkos Házban, Jenna olyan szörnyűséggel szembesül, amilyennel Manhattanben is ritkán találkozott. Aztán hamar kideríti, hogy a ház története sokkal sötétebb, mint azt bárki feltételezte volna. Ahogyan újabb és újabb hullák kerülnek elő, lassan utoléri a múltja, és csak a saját élete kockáztatásával deríthet fényt az igazságra - még mielőtt a Gyilkos Ház újabb áldozatot követelne.
