lives
however the mother's health worsens and
she cannot even get out of bed as they
have no money for her treatment they
already accepted that she would soon
leave them before dying the mother
instructs her eldest jack not to tell
anyone about her death until he turns 21
meaning that by that time he can legally
take care of his siblings with her
remaining strength the mother orders
jack to take a box from her cabinet
where he discovers that his mom has kept
his father's money his shock remains as
he looks in the mirror and realizes that
his mom has left the living world jack
remains calm gathers his siblings around
his mother's bed and reads her last
letter
after reading the letter jack firmly
tells his siblings that no one in
nothing will ever separate them they are
one the siblings move on with their
lives six months after their mother's
death
one day while the only girl in the
family jane is in her mother's bedroom a
bullet pierces through the front window
fortunately the gunshot does not hit her
but as she checks who pulled the trigger
she is beyond terrified she immediately
hides away from his sight and repeatedly
screams jack's name
six months later the four of them still
live in the house where they had either
hidden or covered all the mirrors it is
to protect themselves from a ghost in
the loft which had apparently been gone
for months out of all the siblings jack
is the only one who visits the local
town to take care of their necessities
next to jack is billy who is tired of
being locked up in the house jane comes
next and she is responsible for the
youngest sam before arriving at the
local town jack has to go from the
forest a tunnel a bridge halley's farm
the bumpy mud and the park he takes
medicine for his mother lying to the
owner that she's still fighting her
illness after that he goes to the local
library to see the woman he's courting
ali she is a library employee now and is
helping sam study by giving him books to
read their moment gets interrupted when
the town lawyer comes in he is in charge
of the marylabone estate and has
unrequited hormone affections toward ali
so when he finds jack alone in the
library with ali he firmly informs him
that he will come to their house
tomorrow he needs to collect the
collector's fee and the mother signature
in order to finish the paperwork that
transfers the estate ownership to jack
jack suggests taking the documents to
their house and returning them to him
since his mother is quite unwell however
the lawyer insists on going to their
home because he needs to certify the
mother's signature so jack is left with
no choice he returns to the house and
immediately informs his siblings about
it as what they have is not enough billy
suggests using their father's cursed
money jane quickly disagrees and reminds
jack about his promise of never touching
it again but jack knows they have no
choice
so billy retrieves the box from a
secluded spa on the beach and as soon as
they open it and see the cash billy and
sam laugh in happiness however unlike
her brothers jane is worried
nevertheless jack insists on using it as
they have no choice the following day
arrives and the siblings prepare
themselves and the house for the
lawyer's arrival shortly after the
lawyer comes and jack gives him an
envelope containing 200 pounds as the
collector's fee
jack explains that the money came from
his mother's savings but the lawyer is
suspicious because pounds cost almost
twice as much as dollars but the lawyer
keeps his suspicions to himself and
listens intently to jack's favor he
explains that their mother cannot get
out of bed because of her illness so he
suggests bringing the papers upstairs
and bringing them down the lawyer
reluctantly gives him the documents
which jack quickly brings upstairs to
their mother's room
jack presents the two copies to jane
which she needs to sign forging her
mother's signature this makes them both
anxious as jane believes the lawyer will
notice the difference as jack anxiously
waits for jane to sign the papers the
lawyer slowly wanders into their house
soon enough jack hears the lawyer's
footsteps nearing the room so he
pressures jane to sign he papers they
are both in panic as the lawyer's
footsteps louden when he walks toward
the room within the last minute jane
signs both of the documents and jack
quickly gets out of the room and gives
them to him the lawyer signs the same
paper concluding the transfer of the
marrow bone estate to them later that
day the siblings celebrate the transfer
by playing a pirate game billy is being
too playful that he uses the floors as a
board tossing the dice on them sam takes
his flashlights to see the number on the
dice and as he does so the cover on the
mirror by the stairs suddenly falls to
the ground
sam immediately screams to jack that the
ghost is back so jack curriedly hides
his siblings in a fortress they made in
the house the trio waits in anxiousness
when jack goes out to cover the mirror
jack takes a ladder and fastly covers
the mirror when he hears rattling from
the ceiling he peeks into the floor and
then suddenly falls to the cold ground
jack wakes up in the fortress with his
siblings and billy informs him that he
was the one who rescued him after he
blacked out jane believes that the ghost
is back because they use the cursed
money so they need to return it
immediately the following day billy
drops the box into the chimney so none
of them can use its content ever again
meanwhile the lawyer offers a ride home
to ali to which she refuses it first but
upon his persistent offer she agrees he
brings up the merrell bomb siblings and
asks ali how well she knows them during
the ride the lawyer expresses his worry
because the siblings live in isolation
and even sam does not go to school halle
defends them and argues that they live
too far away and sam is homeschooled
jane helps with his homework and ally
checks his notebooks the lawyer tells
her that it is unfortunate for the
siblings to live that far away because
of their father which silences ali she
knows that the sibling's father is a
cruel man but the lawyer replies that
describing him as cruel is
underestimating
later that day jack teaches sam to
communicate with ali by flashing their
flashlight using morse code ali's house
is far away but the light can still be
seen from a distance the duo and ally
are happy as they communicate with each
other the following day while they are
by the beach ali confronts jack about
his father this quickly puts jack in a
bad mood but he still shares some
information he claims that his father is
a monster who did unspeakable things so
they ran away and hid from him his
father is dead now and cannot hurt them
anymore the couple bond by the beach
unaware that the lawyer is peeping at
them from afar like a peeping tom full
of hormone jealousy hours later jack
comes home only to be confronted by
billy who is tired of being locked up
billy cannot stand it anymore while his
brother can get out anytime he wants
even though it is a rule that no one
leaves the house unless there's an
emergency the two get into a heated
verbal fight that affects jack's mental
health after the stressful event
everyone minds their own business
sam sneaks into his mother's room where
all the mirrors are kept uncovered sam
misses his mother so much pushing him to
disobey jack's rule that he is not
allowed in their mother's old room sam
is not even there for long when the
cabinet mirrors cover falls to the
ground causing him to see the ghost
jack wakes up and goes downstairs where
he finds jane and billy looking
problematic jane informs him that sam
has been into their mother's room saw
the ghost and is traumatized by that at
this point the siblings imply that the
ghost is their abusive and sinful father
whom they breaked up in the attic and
left to starve to death
jane suggests giving their father a
proper burial hoping it will finally
provide them with peace but jack
dismisses her idea meanwhile the lawyer
finally makes a move to ali inviting her
to go with him to the city as expected
ally rejects him as she has never
thought of him as more than just a
friend the lawyer knows that she rejects
him because of jack so he leaves her a
folder containing the investigation
about the marobon siblings ali opens the
folder and what she reads shocks her to
the core it turns out the maribong
siblings father is a convict who
committed severe theft and brutal
murders jack is a key witness and
testified against his father who also
abused his sister however the father
broke out of jail someday back to the
present while jane feeds and pets the
raccoon in a hole in the ceiling a hand
touches her jane peeks into the hole and
witnesses the raccoon gets dragged into
the attic by whom she believes is her
alive father on the other hand the
lawyer receives a call from his law firm
informing him that they will no longer
offer him a position because they need a
partner not an employee this devastates
him a lot because he was really looking
forward to getting that job in order to
be a partner he needs to buy 10 percent
of their share for five thousand dollars
which he does not have the lawyer almost
loses hope but he reads a newspaper
relating to the marrow bone it says that
the ten thousand pounds the convict
father stole are still missing so he
realizes that the marrowbone siblings
have that stolen money in their
possession so later that day he comes to
the murrowbone property and confronts
jack he knows that they forged the
signatures so he blackmails him saying
that he will close his eyes to their
forgery in exchange for the ten thousand
pounds after the lawyer leaves the
premises jack siblings come out
problematic about what they heard
later that night billy secretly climbs
down into the chimney leading to the
attic he retrieves the box and puts the
rope around his waist to pull himself up
right then he hears a noise billy looks
down and finds his father lighting the
match to see him billy immediately pulls
himself up by the rope when his father
grips it causing some part of the rope
to choke him although running out of
breath billy pulls out a knife and cuts
off the rope freeing himself from his
father's assault the following day jack
wakes up to the muffled shouts he checks
on them and finds billy screaming in
pain while jane cleans the huge bruise
on his side jack immediately realizes
that billy has been in the attic
billy still shaken up tells jack that
their father is alive the attic is
covered with animal bones from raccoons
doves and rats and their father somehow
managed to find a way to store rainwater
but right then billy gets interrupted
when jack falls to the ground and gets a
seizure
jane hurriedly rushes to his side and
calms him down which he does after a few
seconds as jack slowly regains his
strength jane suggests they tell ali the
truth because she is the only one who
can help him later that night they
communicate with ally through the light
and ask her to go to the skulls tomorrow
the morning arrives and ali goes to the
skulls where she finds their diary ally
goes through it discovering the sad
truth about the bomb family as she does
so the lawyer arrives at the merrell
bomb house which is mysteriously empty
as the siblings are not around
he wanders around the house finding the
bricked-up attic entrance making him
think that the money is hidden there so
he comes down takes a hammer and tears
down the wall at that time the diary
reveals that it is none other than their
father who shot the window in the
mother's room previously while jane is
there when jack discovers this he
immediately locks his siblings up in the
attic jack follows his father to a
secluded place on the beach to give him
the money box hoping his father takes it
away and never causes tragedies to the
family again however his father is a
very sick and vengeful man so he knocks
out his own son almost killing jack
after that the father invades the house
through the chimney as soon as he
regains consciousness jack returns to
the home only to discover that his
father had killed all of his siblings
jack does not open the lock but instead
breaks up the attic and after that he
prepares to kill himself
he puts the tip of his father's shotgun
in his mouth and his finger to the
traitor however before he can end his
life he sees apparitions of his siblings
in the fortress making him think that
they are still alive after that jack
breaks all the mirrors in the house
making him not be reminded that he is
actually left alone he mimics his late
mother and tells his siblings that they
will make new memories soon after his
younger siblings eventually become
jack's alternate personality within his
mind
after discovering the shocking truth ali
immediately goes to the marobon
residence where she witnesses the man
she loves suffer she finds jack in the
fortress arguing with his different
personalities hallie attempts to snap
him out of it but he pushes her away
unwilling to accept the death of his
siblings ali has no choice but to leave
but she notices the lawyer's belongings
she looks for him all over the house
where she finds the teared up attic
entrance
ali goes inside and discovers the
desiccated corpses of billy jane and sam
she also finds a severely wounded lawyer
so aly quickly screams jack's name as
she turns around she finds a
malnourished yet still ferocious man the
family's father who's been kept captive
and alive inside the attic all the time
ali realizes that she is cornered so she
bravely faces him while calling out for
jack's alternate personalities the
father tosses ali to the ground and
chokes her but jack comes in before he
can kill her he [ __ ] the shotgun and
pulls the trigger on his father forever
ending the nightmare months later ali
decides to stay and take care of the
poor jack after being released from a
psychiatric hospital the doctor
recommends ensuring that jack takes his
medicine to no longer suffer from a
dissociative identity disorder however
she disregards the doctor's advice
because she knows that jack feels the
