Jones Cooper left the Hollows Police Department behind, but he cannot escape what happened before. He sits in therapy sessions, struggling with memories that refuse to fade. On a cold October morning, psychic Eloise Montgomery arrives at his door with visions of what lies ahead. Some of her predictions terrify him. Meanwhile, Michael Holt returns to The Hollows seeking answers about his mother's disappearance years ago. He hires private investigator Ray Muldune and Eloise to uncover the truth that has consumed him since childhood. Fifteen-year-old Willow Graves moved to The Hollows six months ago after her parents' divorce. She left Manhattan for this quiet town with her novelist mother, but rebellion calls to her. She finds herself drawn to troublemakers who encourage her worst impulses. When life becomes unbearable, Willow runs. This time, her escape might lead somewhere dangerous.
