Plot
Successful realtors Jim and Sara Evers live in Louisiana with their young children, Megan and Michael, but Jim's workaholic ways begin to alienate him from his family. After missing his and Sara's wedding anniversary to pursue a lead, Jim tries to make amends by planning a vacation to the nearby lake. Sara is subsequently contacted by the residents of Gracey Manor about negotiating a sale. Eager to make the deal, Jim has the family stop at the mansion on their way to the lake, where they meet the owner, Edward Gracey, and his servants; butler Ramsley, maid Emma, and footman Ezra.
