“The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer" follows the story of the twisted marriage of matriarch Ellen Rimbauer to the promiscuous early 20th-century industrialist, John Rimbauer, and the haunted beginnings of an enormous Seattle mansion that has come to life. Based on the best-selling novel by Ridley Pearson, passages of the diary track a series of deadly encounters surrounding the Rose Red Estate that transform Ellen Rimbauer from the innocent and submissive wife of a wealthy industrialist into a woman possessed by the dark forces inhabiting her home.

Abby is a sought after massage therapist and a free spirit, while her brother Paul thrives on routine, running a failing dental practice with his assistant and daughter Jenny. Suddenly, Abby develops an aversion to bodily contact, which not only makes her unable to do her job, but also severely affects her relationship with her boyfriend. As Abby navigates her way through an identity crisis, her brother's dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his “healing touch.”

While searching for human connection in the heart of an eclectic urban area, four disparate characters navigate the razor's edge of life. As their paths cross, they must decide whether to embrace their reality or cast their lives away.
