Bobby's mother recently moved the family to a cottage in the country, far from his "bad influence friends" in Dublin. Bobby laughs at the simple country folk, such as old Mrs. Dooley, the landlady's mother, with her tales of malicious fairies. When Bobby steals a car from the cottage and crashes it, he is forced to pay for it by working at the Dooleys' farm. There he learns the disturbing history of the cottage: the previous renter went missing, the Dooleys say, and a girl was murdered there. And now that Bobby's brother insists that a strange little woman is visiting the cottage at night, Mrs. Dooley's tales suddenly seem terrifyingly real.
