Drew isn't happy to be away from his parents for the summer at his great-aunt's spooky house. Strange things are happening, like when he smells food that isn't in the house and sees faint images of women crying next to his bedroom door. Then one night, a boy who looks just like him emerges from the attic. It turns out that the boy comes from the past, where he is dying. The only way he can survive is if Drew agrees to switch places with him. Drew agrees, and suddenly he is living eighty years in the past, pretending to be someone he's not. Will Drew ever find his way back home?
