Before The Hills follows a family of five living in a supposedly haunted manor in Hatbridge County. Springwood, though it takes many other names depending on the timeline, is a great, good place in Maine, nestled comfortably between the tips of two hills.

Emily Sheffield is a writer, the first daughter of the Springwood owner, who, years after her stay in the manor, documents everything that happened to her. Especially her crossing with the paranormal . . . things that she couldn't quite grasp, until now.
