In 2008, two different entities roam the property of a 200-year-old farmhouse in Franklin, Virginia, terrorizing a family of three living there. One of the entities is a former slave named Joseph who was given the property by his slave master after he was freed, while the other is a demonic spirit. Tiffany McKennan tries to convince her boyfriend, Billy Quattlebaum of the entities she's encountered or sensed in the house, but Billy remains skeptical and doesn't want this kind of talk to influence his daughter, Georgia, who enjoys the house. Within a few months after moving in, the demonic spirit takes control of Billy and turns him into an angry person. Nine months after moving into the house and with Billy finally believing her, Tiffany finally reaches out to paranormal investigator Jackie Tomblin and her team for help to uncover the demonic spirit who inhabits the house. When they investigate it, Jackie makes contact with Joseph and discovers that he has been trying to save Tiffany and her family from the demon by telling them to leave the house. Her team encounter the angry demon (whom Joseph had told Jackie about) and attacks them. She tells Tiffany and Billy of their investigations. While relieved that Joseph is a good spirit trying to protect their family, Tiffany and Billy still worry about the demon. Jackie and her team bless the house and for a while things are peaceful.
