Locke & Key follows Nina and her three children, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode “who survive an unspeakable horror and attempt to rebuild their lives at Keyhouse, their family home in Lovecraft, Massachusetts.  It is a mysterious New England mansion, with fantastic and transformative keys hidden inside its walls that are also being sought by a hate-filled and relentless creature with ties to the Locke family’s past who will stop at nothing to accomplish his sinister goals.” “At Keyhouse, the Lockes discover all sorts of supernatural abnormalities in the mansion, including doors that lead into different worlds and grant the kids with special powers.”
