Jim Duncan, a student at Mission University, persuades his friends Ginger Matheson and Dixie Canning to buy a box with a ghost on the Internet. After the first disbelief, the three realize that the fun is getting serious. After the first wishes for the box, people begin to die around it.
Jim soon discovers that the crate houses Katie Malone's ghost. Katie Malone was a sold Irish immigrant girl who was ultimately killed by her last owner after a long period of abuse.
