All it takes is a murder now and then, thanks to the strange little man that her nieces introduce into her life. And thanks to the dark powers he represents... But Miss Finney tries to forget about that part. And so do the nieces.

And they do. But something horrible is going to happen to them. And to Miss Finney.
