Plot

Ghost hunter Cyrus Kriticos and his psychic assistant, Dennis Rafkin, lead a specialized team on a mission to capture a spirit in a junkyard. Cyrus and several of his men are killed, but the team successfully captures the ghost. His nephew Arthur, a widower, is informed by Cyrus' estate lawyer, Ben Moss, that he has inherited Cyrus' mansion. Financially insecure, Arthur decides to move there with his two children, Kathy and Bobby, and their nanny, Maggie.

Passing himself off as an electrical technician, Dennis meets the family at the mansion and enters with them. The structure is made entirely of glass panels inscribed with Latin phrases, which Dennis recognizes as barrier protection spells. He discovers that the twelve ghosts he and Cyrus captured are imprisoned within cells in the basement. Pairs of spectral glasses allow their wearers to see the ghosts. As Dennis warns Arthur about the ghosts, Moss picks up a briefcase filled with cash and unwittingly triggers a mechanism that seals the house and releases one of them. He backs away from her, only to be sliced in half and killed by a pair of closing doors. Bobby sees several of the ghosts, including his mother Jean, who had died from injuries sustained in a house fire. He is knocked unconscious and dragged away.

Kalina Oretzia, a spirit liberator attempting to free the ghosts, drives one of them away when it attacks Kathy and Arthur. Kathy disappears while Kalina is explaining her presence, and the four adults flee from the ghosts and take shelter in the library, where Arthur learns that Jean's ghost is one of those trapped in the house. Kalina tells them that the house is a machine which will be powered by the captive ghosts, allowing its users to see the past, present, and future. However, she says, a thirteenth ghost arising from a sacrifice motivated by pure love can act as a failsafe and shut the house down. Arthur realizes that he must become that ghost by dying to save the children.

Armed with the spectral glasses, Arthur and Dennis enter the basement to find the children. Dennis barricades Arthur behind a glass panel for his protection and is beaten to death by a ghost. Cyrus enters the house apparently as a ghost, but he has faked his death and made Kalina his lover and a secret partner in his scheme. Kalina has lied to Arthur about the thirteenth ghost, which will activate the machine instead of shutting it down. When Kalina objects to putting the children in danger, Cyrus kills her and summons the ghosts to the main hall.

Arthur witnesses the ghosts standing around a clockwork device of whirling metal rings, with Kathy and Bobby at the center. He prepares to throw himself into the rings to create the thirteenth ghost, but realizes that Cyrus is alive. The two men fight as Maggie regains consciousness and disrupts the summoning, freeing the ghosts from Cyrus' control and causing the machine to malfunction. The ghosts seize Cyrus and throw him into the rings, slicing him to pieces, and Dennis appears as a ghost to encourage Arthur to save his children. Arthur leaps over the rings and lands at the center to protect them as the machine tears itself apart. The house's walls shatter and the ghosts depart, with Jean giving her family one last smile before she disappears.

As the family departs, Maggie angrily declares she is quitting as their nanny.
