Frank Banister was a contractor until he destroyed his dream
home. He also destroyed everything else he held dear when he drove drunk and
ended up driving off of the road and into some trees. People say that after
you experience a something very traumatic you begin to see things. Frank can
now see spirits, the paranormal. This is his new profession too. He lives in
his unfinished house with three friends who are dead and one dead dog. As a
group they haunt houses and then Frank goes in and "exorcises" them. Quite the
con-man. Years ago, a mass murder was committed in the local sanitarium. The
murder was done by the daughter of the hospital director and her boyfriend.
They killed twelve people, until they were caught. The boyfriend was put in
the electric chair, and the daughter was put in permanent house arrest. They
carved the number of the person killed into their foreheads. Well, let's just
say their killing spree didn't seem to stop, and now Frank is the only person
(other then the dead) that can stop them.
