Anna confronts the Miss Grose with her suspicions about these intruders, but is surprised by the force of Miss Grose's reaction.

Not only is the psychological welfare of the children in very real jeopardy, but their lives and their souls are also at risk. But Anna is forced to confront dark secrets buried deep in her own psyche as she fights to cleanse the children's souls of darkness, with terrifying consequences for all concerned.
