St Philomena's military hospital has been abandoned for over three years. Now Lilian Chesterfield, who works for one of the most successful building companies in England, is in charge of developing it into a luxury housing complex.

But as soon as she and her colleagues started work in the Jacobean-style mansion, their dream turned into a nightmare. They heard screaming from wards full of empty beds.

This hospital may be haunted by something a thousand times more terrifying than ghosts.
