The Angels accept the invitation of Erica and Clifford Burke - Tiffany's longtime friend and her newlywed sportswear designer husband - to spend a few days with them at their Victorian mansion culminating with a lavish costume party, it a chance for Tiffany to catch up with Erica who she hasn't seen in three years, and to meet Cliff. Erica had always been shy around men who she was never sure were interested in her or her money - she being an heiress - but has now obviously broken out of her shell, especially in not needing to worry about Cliff, who entered the marriage with his own wealth as seen by the mansion which he bought over twenty years ago, it complete with his longtime faithful servants, Mr. and Mrs. Craig, the caretaker and housekeeper respectively. In arriving at the mansion on her own with Kelly and Kris arriving a day later to give her some alone time with Erica, Tiffany finds elements of the mansion which mimic a recurring nightmare she has recently been having, those elements being details of the actual setting down to the antique clock on the wall which has stopped working, its hands stopped at 2:30. At the core of Tiffany's nightmares is a dark haired woman in a wheelchair she doesn't recognize being pushed down the grand staircase at the mansion, she falling to her death. Erica confides in Tiffany - what she had confided previously to Cliff who has notched it up to an overactive imagination - that there is something or someone, perhaps a supernatural being, that does not want her in the house and thus is trying to kill her. Tiffany has long believed in the paranormal and thus takes Erica's fear seriously. They will have to convince Cliff, as well as Kelly and Kris, to prevent any harm to Erica, with Tiffany believing that whatever is going to happen to Erica, human or supernaturally driven, will happen at the costume party.
