Estranged from his family and down on his luck, author Jonathan Northrop is at a turning point in his life when he purchases Whispering Corner, a beautiful old house in a remote Dorset setting.

When strange whisperings and invisible presences begin to invade the house Jonathan draws on these as inspiration for his new novel. But, frighteningly, the characters in his book start appearing in his life and he fears he may have awakened some ancient psychic presence.

Amidst increasing supernatural activity, real life and fiction begin to intertwine to lead to a horrifying climax.
