Thirty years ago, in the rural town of Watterrow, England, a beautiful, curly-haired 10-year-old named Melanie Parr suffered a fatal accident.

Her angelic looks to hid a cruel, sociopathic personality, and the girl delighted in tormenting her playmates, whose mothers decided to do something about it. Unfortunately for them, that "something" proved deadly.

Even more unfortunately, Melanie's come back for revenge, thanks to "The Catcher Man," a benign entity that holds children in a state between life and death.
