So after she barely recovers from another paralyzing migraine, Ella arrives late to her aunt's house for babysitting. But when nobody answers the door, she knows something isn't right. Breaking in, she finds her cousins unconscious on the floor. And Aunt Julie is dead. Ella is barely able to rescue them from the house before she collapses into the snow. When investigators discover that the cause of death was from a gas leak, a small voice in the back of her head keeps reminding Ella that it could have been her--not Aunt Julie--inside that house.
