Joanne and Jim Whitley buy an old farm in New Hampshire with the idea of carrying out a horse-riding business. After fixing up the property, they find themselves entering the world of the supernatural. A negative presence haunts the property, scaring off horse riders and attacking Joanne and Jim's son. It is then revealed that an evil spirit named Samuel is causing the trouble and also keeping captive four good spirits: a colonist soldier with his wife, a pioneer girl, and a Native American warrior as his slaves. Joan is faced with the decision to either fight off the spirit and save the ones held captive or leave the property. Joan chooses to fight Samuel off and successfully sends him to the other side to face God's judgment. This helps the trapped spirits cross over and gives the Whitleys back their lives.
