They have relocated to the rural town of Hertfordshire, England, searching for a new beginning and an opportunity to start fresh. The townspeople are friendly and welcoming, but they seem to have an eerie fascination with local legend Teddy Boyce, a former occupant of the old house that the couple has just purchased. As Mike and Linda move in, they begin to notice strange occurrences and unexplained events surrounding the property. Doors slam shut on their own, and disembodied voices whisper in their ears. It appears that their presence has disturbed the spirit of Teddy Boyce, who died under mysterious circumstances. Despite their initial reservations, Mike and Linda cannot help but feel drawn to the legend of Teddy, who is said to have been a charismatic and troubled young man. As the couple delves deeper into the story of Teddy, they discover that his death was linked to the closure of the Fright Zone, a local amusement park that was shut down due to its association with the legend of Teddy Boyce. The park was said to be haunted by the vengeful spirit of Teddy, and the local residents believed that anything strange or unfortunate that happened in the town could be attributed to the restless spirit. Intrigued by the story, Mike begins to explore the history of the Fright Zone, while Linda tries to ignore the strange occurrences and settle in to their new life.

In the climactic final act, Mike and Linda are confronted with the terrible truth about Teddy's fate. They learn that he was involved in a tragic accident at the Fright Zone, which was covered up by the park's owners and the local police. The spirit of Teddy, fueled by a desire for justice and revenge, has been awakened by their presence in the old house.
