Natalie Flores is the embodiment of the modern, self-confident "Lifetime" woman. She is a successful chef in New York City, a skilled work supervisor, and a genuinely decent human being.
But Natalie's resolve is tested with the news of the unexpected death of her twin sister Celia. Natalie travels to the quaint town of Falls Church, Vermont, where she is confronted by her belligerent niece Sabrina, who may be suffering from a case of "dissociative amnesia." Natalie must also confront the thorny problem of liquidating the old inn that Celia was refurbishing. And, according to Sabrina, the inn may be haunted with spirits from the past.
The film was a slow burner with an especially curious choice on the part of Natalie to sleep with "Handy Andy" Bertrand, who has kept a number of secrets from her, prior to hopping into bed. It was a stretch to believe that Natalie would be attracted in the slightest way to Handy Andy, especially at this time of her bereavement following the death of Celia. Another problematic figure is Elijah, the boyfriend of Sabrina, who always appears to be hanging around the inn and would seem to be keeping Sabrina on a tight leash.
While there were some effective spooky scenes, such as an eerie session on the Ouija board with Sabrina and Elijah, the strength of the film was the strong-willed character of Natalie. She was savvy enough to recognize that there was more to the old inn than rats in the walls. Her tenacity led her to bring out the truth about her sister and the secrets that were not contained within the inn, but were locked away for years in her own heart.
