A perfect family is torn apart after an accident. Two sisters struggle to rebuild their lives—and those of their parents—while a disturbing presence looms over them, threatening to destroy everything… A thriller with a strong family drama component, written by a bestselling author.
Two sisters, Zoey and Alison, have the perfect family: loving parents, a loyal dog, a small family café in New York, and an excellent relationship with each other. Zoey is happy running the family business, while Alison, more ambitious, studies away from home. However, during their usual drive from home to the café—with Zoey behind the wheel—a terrible accident changes everything. Their mother is left in a wheelchair, their father falls into a coma, and the sisters are left traumatized. To make matters worse, Zoey starts being stalked by a stranger. At first, he just follows her, but then he begins leaving notes and showing up unexpectedly wherever she goes. This nightmare continues for a year, leaving Zoey and her family in a constant state of fear.
Years later, Zoey lives in New Jersey with her husband, Raúl, a police officer, and their son, Zack. Her relationship with Alison has deteriorated since it was Alison, not Zoey, who took on the responsibility of caring for their parents. Still haunted by memories of the accident and the stalker, Zoey seeks refuge in the family café. But her safe haven crumbles when the stalker sends her a note to let her know he’s back.
Raúl investigates the case to protect her but faces more obstacles than expected. At the same time, Zoey confesses to her therapist that she’s been having strange dreams and visions—she feels there is something (or someone) inside her, occasionally taking control, and she fears it might hurt her husband or child.
Events spiral out of control in rapid succession until Alison finally grasps the full extent of the danger and fights to stop it before it’s too late.
