A family is cursed by a dark entity known as NIffin, which has been passed down through generations. It is a coming-of-age story in the early 1990s that focuses on the protagonist, a young girl named Bernadette. She is growing up learning life lessons. However, events occurring around the house go beyond just life lessons. Friends stop talking out of nowhere; items go missing, and psychic dreams, as well as encounters and shadow people who are speaking to her. It's a cautionary tale that certain things can only be removed from your life by God.
