Die alleinerziehende Kate muss mit ihrem siebenjährigen Sohn Christopher untertauchen. Das abgelegene Örtchen Mill Grove, Pennsylvania, scheint dafür ideal zu sein. Doch dann beginnt Christopher, eine Stimme zu hören. Und merkwürdige Zeichen zu sehen, die ihn in den Wald locken. Sechs Tage lang bleibt er verschwunden. Als er wieder auftaucht, kann er sich an nichts erinnern. Aber plötzlich hat er besondere Fähigkeiten und den Auftrag, ein Baumhaus im Wald zu errichten. Wenn er es nicht schafft, so die Stimme, wird der ganze Ort untergehen. Auf einmal befinden sich Christopher, seine Mutter und alle Einwohner von Mill Grove mitten im Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse.
