In 1975, when George and Kathy Lutz move into their suburban dream home, a cascade of terrifying, unexplainable events drive them out in just 28 days. Those closest to the terror share their stories.

A year before the Lutzes move into 112 Ocean Ave, the DeFeo family is found shot to death under strange circumstances in the same house. The lone survivor, Ronnie DeFeo Jr, is accused of murder, but mob ties and paranormal theories cloud the case.

After paranormal trailblazers Ed and Lorraine Warren purportedly confirm a demonic presence at 112 Ocean Ave, the Lutz family turns their story into a hit book and film. Fame comes at a heavy cost when they are accused of perpetrating a massive hoax.

The success of `The Amityville Horror' reinvents the haunted house for a new generation, spawning sequels and conspiracy theories. But as George Lutz's secret past is revealed, the human toll and absurd legacy of Amityville comes into focus.
