All of their possessions are confiscated and sold to purchase half of a dilapidated piece of property called Ashwood Farms, located in the State of Virginia. All this comes about, with the help from Special FBI Agents, Lenard and Gene, who arrange for Ellen's uncharacteristic new housing situation. With no money to renovate the atrocious house, the abundance of fine antiques and collectible objects turn out to be an unexpected source of income, but it won't come soon enough. Ellen embarks on the only way she knows that will generate money quickly; enter the intriguing world of horseracing, wagering, and high-stakes betting. As the family rebuilds their lives, they find themselves embroiled in a tangled web of deceit and calamities as strange incidents begin to happen. Ellen questions everything, and wonders if it's the ghost of the original Mrs. Ashwood. Is she whispering secrets to Ellen? Is she happy a family lives at Ashwood again? When her prized Thoroughbred is mysteriously murdered, Ellen attempts to contact Lenard and Gene, but she is unsuccessful. She then contacts the FBI and the CIA, but they don't know who these suspicious agents are and she starts to panic. A genuine CIA team comes to protect the family after the story unfolds, and it's soon clear that Ellen's son, Jason, is the next target.
