This Swedish ghost story tells the tale of two sisters, Fredi and Elsa, who are wrenched from their family life when their mother dies and are thrown into an alien environment. Feeling neglected and isolated they do what two kids do - they go and explore all the places their foster parent warned them to avoid. In direct defiance of their new guardians the children delve into the secrets of an old haunted house nearby. Sometimes adult warnings are given with good reason.
