Based on the 1973 novel of the same name by John Bellairs, the movie follows a young orphan, who after losing his parents is sent to Michigan to live with his uncle Jonathan. During the night, Lewis is puzzled when he hears a ticking sound in the walls. He later discovers his uncle is a warlock and has been trying to find the clock and discover its purpose.
