'The Stone House' is a story about Rick Berlinger and his wife Joslin moving from their busy urban life to a small and quiet town in pursuit of happiness. Soon after their arrival, people begin to disappear. While many might suspect them, some believe in a local legend that the local mental hospital that burned down mysteriously in the late seventies left the unaccounted patients behind to haunt the woods around it. Ultimately, it's left up to Rick to discover what's really going on in their new town and what really hides behind the story of the abandoned asylum that is The Stone House.
