The Rectory

When Laurel and her family find an old summer house on the far east end of Long Island, they hope also to find peace, as they recover from the sudden death of their young son. Amid the cobwebs and clutter of the old rectory, Laurel comes upon a century-old diary that details the story of a lonely woman who lived in the house, and who wrote about some of the eerie visitors who would call on her at night. Laurel also finds a book that seems to have the power to bring back her son. Is she under the delusion of grief, or is something more at stake? Her husband, her friends, and even herself, think she's in danger from her own fantasies. "The Rectory" explores how one lonely woman copes with loss, and to powers that prey upon the grief-stricken.
