Real estate journalist Julia Talben (Jessica Lowndes) feels unsatisfied with her current writing assignments, more interested in crime reporting, but finds some comforts in her relationship with her sister Amanda and nephew Charlie, and maintains an amicable relationship with former lover and local detective Declan Grady (Joe Anderson).
Tragedy strikes when Richard Renshaw breaks into Amanda's house and kills her family. The next morning, Renshaw calls Julia at work and apologizes to her for the murders. Julia rushes to Amanda's house, finding the shocking scene in Charlie's bedroom, while Grady apprehends an oddly-compliant Renshaw. Julia awakens in one of the removed rooms, and wandering deeper into the woods, she finds a massive house that has been constructed from other rooms. At the front door, Crone offers Julia the opportunity to leave New English and share the story without an ending, or to enter of her own free will and find her family. Julia enters the house, where she sees that each room is haunted by the spirits of the people who died inside, reliving their respective tragedies over and over. Crone explains that collecting these tragedies helps him weaken the barrier to the afterlife, before leaving Julia to search for her family.
While Julia wanders the rooms, Grady awakens in the forest in a similar manner. Upon reaching the building, Crone makes a similar offer to Grady, warning him that pursuing Julia inside would be its own tragedy, though Grady does so anyway. Julia finds Charlie's room, but is only able to see her family's deaths. Distracted by the scene, she is startled by Grady approaching her, and fatally stabs him. Crone arrives to gloat to her, explaining that this event served as another tragedy for the Abattoir, bringing the last child back to New English for another tragedy. Though Julia prepares to attack Crone, she is shot from behind by Allie, fulfilling her earlier pledge.
