For a terrified Evanne, the answer is very important. Her dormant psychic ability has surfaced, and now she has accused Charlie Bridges of being a dead man. Only Charlie is alive and well – or is he?

Charlie has a few hours missing from his life, with nothing to show for it but a strange scar on his wrist. And lots of other people in the small college town – perfectly ordinary people – have the same odd scar. Unfortunately for them and for Evanne, they are not ordinary anymore. And the town will soon be a blood-soaked hell on earth.
