Neither sibling has ever met Roger’s stepdaughter, Natasha. Why would he want two teenagers visiting him? The mystery deepens when the two learn more about Roger’s mysterious mansion, Ghost Deer Manor.

Whole sections of the house are off limits to all but their eccentric uncle, a secretive team of Russian genetics researchers, and a menacing Jesuit priest. Enormous quantities of food arrive at the manor and then disappear without any clue as to who is eating it. Claire, who has a wild imagination, is convinced that something very sinister is going on in the hidden parts of the mansion. When Jimmy, Claire, Antonio, and Maria meet two local teens, Marvin and Amelie, the six form the White Antler Club to get to the bottom of the manor’s secrets.
