In a small mid-western farming community, famed author and psychiatrist Tessa Savage has made an idyllic life for herself. Her closely-guarded secret - mental abilities that allow her to see the minds of others - has always seemed like a harmless, if useful, tool in her pursuit towards helping others. But when local women begin disappearing, and videos of their torture and subsequent suicides are made public, Tessa finds herself thrown into a battle against a psychopathic evil with talents more potent than her own. As she struggles against the forces that have been set in motion to stop her, Tessa finds unexpected allies while rediscovering the strength and courage of the human spirit. As the murderer raises the stakes, Tessa races against time to protect her friends, her community, her secret, and her life.
