An ancient church is being dismantled and moved to a new location, stone by stone.

Soon after, four strangers show up in the village and the Sogood & Firkettle children seem to be the only ones who question the mysterious things that begin to happen.

A few years later, the US cable network Nickelodeon edited the miniseries into a 2 hour (including commercials) movie block.
