Jude Tyndal lies dying in his mansion, surrounded by his three relatives—Harry, Laura, and Philip—each nursing their own resentments toward the selfish old man who never gave them the time of day. When Harry secretly forges a will to claim the entire fortune for himself, strange supernatural forces begin to manifest in the house, and the paralyzed Jude seems to reach out from beyond the edge of death to settle old scores. As inexplicable terrors grip the household, it becomes clear that the old man's iron will refuses to be subdued, even by paralysis and mortality itself.
