Plot
The film opens with credits showing as the camera view goes into a fancy restaurant and into a private room. There is a wedding reception going on. Meanwhile, two younger kids walk along outside of the restaurant, who are part of the Lewis family: Joey (Howie James) and Josh (Sam Aposhian). They are looking for their mom, who mysteriously dissappeared from the reception.

They walk along the path with their other siblings. Eventually, the kids give up hope and return home for the night.

When they get home, they immediately run outside to see if their mom was anywhere besides inside the house. But soon after, a ghost runs out of the garden shed and tries to attack them. The kids run inside to get away, and discuss the happening.

The siblings run upstairs, scared from the experience. They soon learn that their mom is missing, because the ghost from outside had stole her somehow. After that, a large earthquake hits, knocking over various items. The earthquake was caused by ghosts. They discuss it more, and then Joey walks into the bathroom. He shrieks and comes back out, saaying he saw a ghost in the mirror.

The kids decide to leave the situation alone and go to sleep, so they all lay down on the couches downstairs. But as soon as they turn off the lights, they hear a ghostly moan. So they run upstairs and hide again. The film then ends after it says 'To Be Continued'.
