Prompted by the arrival of a mysterious package from her terminally ill grandmother, Claire drags her reluctant new boyfriend, Paul, off to meet her family at their remote country home where she hopes she will discover the motivations behind the unexpected gift. Things seem to be going well until Claire’s heavily medicated gran begins rambling on about a female spirit she is expecting to come in the night to escort her body into the afterlife. That night, as a violent thunderstorm rocks the house, the family is awoken by a succession of piercing, otherworldly shrieks, which prove to be the cries of a banshee. As the terrifying sounds ring out, the dead are summoned to rise again, so beginning a waking nightmare for Claire and her family as the banshee and her army of the undead unleash their fury upon the living.
