Ocean Drive 7 on uljas, miljoonien arvoinen rantatalo rikkaassa Hamptonsissa. Talon jyhkeä, goottilaistyylinen julkisivu kätkee kuitenkin sisälleen kammottavan menneisyyden: talossa on tapahtunut useita raakoja murhia, joita ei ole koskaan ratkaistu.

Newyorkilainen rikostutkija Jenna Murphy vietti lapsuutensa kesät Hamptonsissa, muttei ole käynyt alueella lapsuusvuosien jälkeen. Kun Jenna siirtyy poliisiksi Hamptonsiin, hollywoodilainen kykyagentti ja tämän rakastajatar löydetään murhattuina autiosta Murhatalosta. Raa’at murhat käynnistävät tapahtumaketjun, jonka keskiöön Jenna joutuu. Jennan on pantava oma henkensä peliin paljastaakseen totuuden – ennen kuin Murhatalo vaatii lisää uhreja.
