Paxton and Pat Healy (Great World of Sound) play Claire and Luke, the young caretakers of the Yankee Pedlar Inn, an old hotel in Connecticut with a lot of history as well as strange supernatural occurrences attributed to the ghost of Madeline O’Malley, who was murdered at the hotel centuries earlier. The Yankee Pedlar is about to close for good, giving them one last chance to try to record proof of the inn’s haunting, though they soon find themselves way over their heads. The film also stars 80s screen icon Kelly McGillis, who was so great in Jim Mickle’s Stakeland last year.
