Michael and Jillian Dansky seemed to have it allβa happy marriage, two successful careers, a bright future. But late one October evening, all that changed. Driving home from a Halloween masquerade, Michael momentarily nods off behind the wheelβand wakes to find nothing is the same.
Standing by his car is the little girl he came within a breath of running down. She leads Michael to her βhome,β an empty house haunted by whispers, and sends him away with a haunting whisper of her own: βcome find me.β But in the weeks to follow, itβs clear that someoneβor some thingβ doesnβt want Michael to find her: ominous figures in grey coats with misshapen faces are following him everywhere. And then Jillian wakes one morning replaced by a cold, cruel, vindictive woman Michael hardly recognizes as his wife. Michael must now search not only for the lost girl, but for a way to find the Jillian he's always loved, and to do so he must return to where the nightmare began. Down an isolated lane where heβll find them, or die trying.
