In a tranquil town, a cunning and merciless sheriff holds sway, crushing dissent with an iron grip. However, a chink in his armor is his own innocent and vulnerable son, a reminder of a traumatic and brutal past.

The TV series "Poltergeist: The Legacy" revolves around Sheriff Lucas Buck, a powerful being who uses his abilities to influence people's decisions for nefarious purposes. Despite his troubled past, Lucas focuses on corrupting his son, Caleb, who remains unaware of their family tie. But Gail Emory, Caleb's new guardian and a journalist, sets out to uncover the truth about her family's dark history, thwarting Lucas' plans.
