The year was 1888 and the Morning Star was on her maiden voyage when she foundered and sank in a ferocious storm near a village that came to be called Courage Cove. The owner of the shipping line, Horace Grey, was on board with his family. His infant son drowned and his body was never recovered, so he built the house he called Greystone near where the tragedy occurred and often walked along the shore calling his son's name in hopes he would return from the sea. Tragedy followed tragedy within its walls as the years passed and those that died there lingered including a malevolent, powerful entity. It had been vacant for decades when Jodie Shield was shown the property by a local Realtor. She had come to Courage Cove with her black cat Cinda to find her mother's roots for a biography she had promised to write, and doesn't understand why she is attracted to the rambling, derelict mansion. She only knows she needs to be there for some inexplicable reason, so she buys it and begins the restoration even though warned by a friend she was 'waking the devil'. Soon after she moves in, someone else's dreams and memories find her...those of a young Millie Grey who died there more than a century before...and the horror begins.

For millennia people have held folk beliefs about the existence of the doppelganger--"double walker" in German--a look-alike second self that is often the antithesis of one's identity and is usually considered an omen of misfortune or death. The theme of the double has inspired works by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Poe, de Maupassant, Dostoevsky and others, and has been the basis for many classic mystery, horror and science fiction movies. This critical survey examines the double in more than 100 films by such acclaimed directors as Alfred Hitchcock, Mario Bava, Roger Corman, David Cronenberg, George Romero, Fritz Lang, James Cameron, Robert Siodmak, Don Siegel, John Frankenheimer, Terry Gilliam, Brian De Palma and Roman Polanski.
