Scott) moves into a mansion in Seattle, he realizes that his new home is haunted. Working with Claire Norman (Trish Van Devere), John figures out that the haunting comes from the ghost of a murdered boy whose father wanted to collect on his life insurance policy. When the father realized that he could not collect on the boy's insurance, the father substituted another boy for his son, and now the "changeling"—wealthy Joseph Carmichael—believes that John is finding information about his past and could blackmail him.
