When Wren stumbles across an explicit blog page written by his employer's sister, Madeline Stanley, his simple view of life is thrown into turmoil. Wren becomes obsessed with Madeline's two online journals and on discovering that a stalker is involved, finds himself behaving in unexpected ways. With the knowledge he has covertly gained, he is eventually forced out of his shell and into action in ways he never could have anticipated - ways that will decide his own future and that of the Stanleys.
