Veronica Quick learned not to trust her psychic abilities after a childhood vision nearly got her and her friends killed at a pond. Now she tries to ignore the premonitions that come and go unreliably. But when Ronnie sees a woman strangled in a forest clearing, she cannot shake the image. The body turns up exactly as she predicted. More visions follow, showing additional victims of what appears to be a serial killer. A skeptical detective from her past questions her involvement while the killer continues hunting. Ronnie realizes the murderer is targeting people in her circle, moving closer with each death. She sees enough to know the danger is real but not enough to stop it. The gaps in her visions terrify her most of all. Ronnie must decide whether to trust her unreliable gift when lives depend on it.
