The phone rings in the middle of the night, dragging psychiatrist Laura McCaffrey into the rain-slicked streets of Los Angeles. Her estranged husband has been beaten to death.
But the true shock waits in his secret lab: Melanie, their daughter, kidnapped six years earlier, found silent and broken. What was he doing to her all this time?
The walls hum with evidence of unspeakable experiments, and the terror isn’t finished. A sinister force lingers, one tied to Melanie’s ordeal, feeding on her pain and rage. As police scramble and Laura fights to reach her child, the shadows keep closing in.
If Laura can’t unravel the nightmare her husband created, she risks losing Melanie again—this time to something far worse than death.
