Abbi Devereaux lies flat on her back, her arms and legs tied down, her head covered with a hood. She senses the eyes that watch her. She feels the unknown hands that touch her in the dark. She knows she has been kidnapped. And she knows that somehow she must stay alive, even though everything she is experiencing tells her she won't. Miraculously, she escapes. One nightmare is over but another is about to begin. Her memories of the recent past - where she lives, whether she has a job, where she stands with her boyfriend - are oddly out of synch with reality, her normal, everyday life in "the land of the living." As the authorities question her credibility, Abbie can't help but wonder if there is a connection between the facts she has forgotten and the kidnapping itself. Now there's only one way to reclaim both her mind and her life - and stop a monstrous psycho-killer. She must dare to retrace her steps to the place where all the horror began.
