Peter Richardson stands alone in the crumbling Brevoort House, the last tenant in a Brooklyn neighborhood being torn down around him. The wrecking ball destroys building after building, but the ancient Brevoort remains. Something malevolent lives within its walls, whispering to Richardson about his coming death. The house itself has turned evil, targeting him with undefined terror that grows stronger each day. Meanwhile, London solicitor Matthew Willow arrives in Brooklyn searching for a man who might not exist. His only lead is a name: Joseph Tully, ancestor of the person he seeks. Willow enters the world of genealogical detection, tracing family lines through history. His investigation reveals a centuries-spanning cycle of reincarnation, pursuit, and vengeance that connects the past to Richardson's present nightmare. Two separate stories converge as Willow's search uncovers the dark forces that have marked Richardson for death in the decaying Brevoort House.
