When a hired contractor working on preparing a mansion to go on the market finds a strange door in the basement, everything he knew about the house, job, and situation are turned upside down. Can he handle the strange discovery downstairs, or should he be more worried about the infestation of fur beetles in the kitchen? With only a few days until the open house, can he handle the stress and get everything done in time?

This story is inspired by the Cellar Story episode in Are You Afraid of the Dark.

Rating: Rated PG-13 for violence, scary moments, character death, and language. Nothing explicit.
