What would drive her to such a desolate New York street … down such dark stairs … to do something so dangerous?

She was the last of five strangers compelled to the same basement room. None of them had been there before—but they believed it was a place to share their stories, to erase their fears, to make the horror of their dreams end. Instead, it was where they met their fate—screaming for their lives in the darkness …

Five people all tortured to death. Five people with nothing in common. Or so it seems. But then Detective David Rodriguez and reporter Mari Kinsella begin to find connections among the victims, begin to find others haunted by the same strange nightmares that drove the five to their deaths, begin themselves to fall into a deadly danger that should only exist … in dreams.
