Charlie Phillips harbors a troubled past, to say the least. After losing her parents to a tragic house fire, she moves to Springwood to live with her godparents, Dave and Grace -- although settling in proves to be easier said than done. Sure, some of the kids at school seem welcoming enough and while Dave and Grace are trying to be accommodating, there's also the issue of reoccurring nightmares, involving her parents and the night of the fire...or at least that's all they've been, until now. Now, an uninvited guest in a fedora and striped sweater has begun paying young Charlie (and her friends) unwanted nightly visits, but despite the growing body count, no one else in town seems to want to acknowledge what's really happening...all except for one. Her therapist, Dr. Alice Johnson.
