Maïlys and her parents have just moved into a house they inherited. It belonged to the great uncle of Maïlys' father, Albert, who has just passed away. The house is old, dusty, creaky - except for a magnificent piano - the power is out, and the water won't flow down every tap. And, to top it all: the moving truck has not made it to the house yet, and rain is pouring.
However, Maïlys strangely feels she has known this place forever, and easily finds her way around. But since she set foot into the house, she started to hear voices calling her name. Could that house be haunted?
Through her visions and the help of her parents, Maïlys dives into the history of Uncle Albert and of her family. She will discover the fate of her ancestors, and what secrets lie behind the 52nd door, to finally realise that it is never too late to be at peace.
