Matt and his friend Kelvin break into a warehouse full of old worn-out stuff. They wanted to use the stuff and sell them for money. Unfortunately, Kelvin stabs the security guard and they get caught by the police.
Matt and Kelvin get caught and are sent to jail, but Because Matt is only 14 and kelvin is 16, Kelvin goes to jail but Matt gets sent into a LEAF project. He is sent to Lesser Malling with Mrs. Deverill.
Matt meets Mrs. Deverill's farm and her cat, Asmodeus. He tries to run away on his bike, multiple times but has no luck. He quickly understands that Mrs. Deverill and Lesser Malling isn't what it is said to be. He is being haunted down, he could feel it. He also, finds people to help him but they always end up dead.
Matt finally escapes and decides to tell someone about what is happening and runs into Richard, a writer. He stays with him for a few days. He tells Richard about what is happening and at first, doesn't believe him. In the end, though, he starts to understand and believe his story.
Richard helps Matt by understanding his story and arranging meetings with people he thinks will help. They meet with Sir Micheal, the owner of a power station, and Sanjay Dravid. Sanjay Dravid understands Matt's story, unlike Sir Micheal. Dravid is part of an organization that is trying to find 5 special kids to save the world from the Old Ones, evil spirits. Dravid is unfortunately killed by dinosaur bones that come to life.
Matt and Richard are fooled by Sir Micheal who is working for the Old Ones. He wants to free the spirits from the power station. All he needs is the drop of blood from Matt. As he is about to sink the knife into him, Matt uses his mind to stop the knife from killing him. unfortunately, the knife got a bit of blood on it and so the spirits were released. The spirits only take Sir Micheal back into the power station. Matt stays with Richard but someone from Dravid's organization warns him that he will be needed again to save the world.
