PlotIn a small, snowy New England town, four elderly men, members of a secretive group called the Chowder Society, meet regularly to share ghost stories. These tales, however, take a sinister turn when one of their sons, Don Wanderley, comes to visit after the mysterious death of his twin brother. Don reveals that his brother's demise haunts him and shares his own eerie encounter with a woman named Alma Mobley. As Don recounts his story, it becomes evident that Alma's disturbance in his life and the odd circumstances surrounding his brother's death are intertwined with a dark secret the elderly men have long kept hidden.
The chilling accounts begin to manifest in real life as strange events plague the entire town. The old friends are forced to confront their past and the horrifying truth about Alma. As fear grips them, they realize that their secrets may explain how these haunting occurrences are connected to a long-buried crime.
