Alice's world is falling apart. Her parents are getting a divorce, and they've cancelled their yearly cottage trip. Instead, Alice and her mom head to a small town where Alice's mom will be a live-in nurse to a rich elderly lady. The house is huge, imposing and spooky, and everything inside is meticulously kept - not a fun place to spend the summer. Then Alice finds a dollhouse in the attic that's an exact replica of the house she's living in, and wakes up to find a girl asleep next to her in her bed - a girl who looks a lot like one of the dolls from the dollhouse. When the dollhouse starts to change when Alice isn't looking, she has to solve the mystery. Who are the girls in the dollhouse? What happened? And what is their connection to the mean and mysterious woman who owns the house?
