Chance Silvey grew up in her grandparents' house on the side of Red Mountain, Alabama. Now married with a baby on the way, she wants to move on and leave the house - and the tragic history of her family - in the past. But her future is tainted: Chance is hallucinating, seeing blood everywhere, and is afraid to uncover what it means. Her husband, a gifted psychic, fears being drawn into a police investigation after having a vision of a serial killer's brutality. And it all leads to a woman witha thirst for violence, hiding from something that haunts her day and night.
