In the summer of 1898, Sequoia Owen accepts an invitation from his estranged uncle to visit his family' s summer home on Todeket, a private island off the Connecticut coast. Yet the house, constructed by Sequoia's unstable grandfather and the site of his cousin's mysterious death, is a strange place. None of his odd relatives, who seem to have sinister agendas of their own, can agree upon the origin of the house, nor do they all believe the sightings of a ghost that haunts its halls, said to appear before tragedy strikes. Trapped on the island by a storm, Sequoia must unravel the enigma of Todeket before the next life lost is his own.
