in a rural part of Ireland. Rachel and Edward, twins who are of Anglo-Irish descent, are forced to live together in the decaying family estate. Each night, the house is taken over by a malevolent presence known as "The Lodgers," who imposes three restrictions on the twins: they have to be asleep by the stroke of midnight; they are not allowed to let anyone from the outside cross the threshold; and if either of them makes an attempt to flee, the other's life is put in danger. When the damaged war veteran Sean returns to the surrounding village, he is immediately drawn to the intriguing Rachel, who in turn begins to transgress the rules set out by The Lodgers. As a result of the events that transpire, Rachel is forced into a potentially lethal confrontation with both her brother and the curse that follows them.
