Frankie Scarlatti (Lukas Haas) lives an ideal existence in Willowpoint Falls - surrounded by his loving father, Angelo (Alex Rocco), his grandparents, his "surrogate uncle", Phil, and his older brother, Geno. But Halloween 1962 will change Willowpoint Falls, and Frankie, forever.
As a practical joke on Halloween, Frankie's schoolmates have locked him in the cloakroom at school. Here in the dusk, he is visited by those who wouldn't ordinarily be there - the ghost of a girl about his age, and a man searching for something in the heating grate. He seems real, but is she? As the mystery unravels, it is revealed how they are connected.
A mystery-thriller with a climatic twist ending, LADY IN WHITE takes place at that moment in childhood when fantasy is as important as reality.
