Michael and Jillian Dansky seemed to have it all.

But driving home from a Halloween masquerade, Michael momentarilynods off behind the wheel and wakes to find nothing is the same.

Standing by his car is a little girl he came within a breath ofrunning down. She leads Michael to her "home," an empty househaunted by whispers, and sends him away with a plea: "come find me."

But in the weeks to follow, it's clear that someone--orsomething--doesn't want Michael to find her: ominous figures withgray coats and misshapen faces trail him everywhere. And then onemorning a cold, cruel, vindictive woman awakens in place of hiswife.

Michael must now search not only for the lost girl but for a way tofind the Jillian he's always loved, and to do so he must return towhere the nightmare began. Down an isolated lane, where he'll findthem--or die trying.
