The Akeley's are aeons away from your average family. For orphaned siblings, Adam, Vince and Lucy, every day is a repeating nightmare and another step closer to their inevitable expiration. And it's all thanks to dear old Grandma...
Far from the cake-baking, jumper-kitting, boo-boo kissing forbear they deserve, Lucille Derleth is a callous and spiteful woman with a penchant for the black arts, a snub temper and mind full of ugly secrets. And with her demonic lackey Jojo forever at her beck and call and magic traps at every turn, escape from their isolated country house seems practically impossible.
But Adam's eighteenth birthday is looming and that means time is running out...
With their older brother Martin's screams still fresh in their minds, the trio decide to attempt one final escape, before Adam falls forfeit to the same fate. But in order to match their grandmother's arcane powers, they're going to have to play her at her own game...
