Delilah Valentine and brothers, Stan and Andy Maxwell were trying to live a small town life and forget their past. After Delilah lost her father, a veteran detective, to a missing persons case gone wrong only a week prior. She comes home from a search party in an attempt to rest, only to awaken in a reality far from her own, in a realm even dreams could never touch. Forced to step forward into a twisted game of survival, she must hold true to herself, and every last glimmer of hope of escaping. Secrets are to be surfaced. Hazed memories will be washed clean by tides of darkness... ...And shadows will come to an end...

What if the person you trusted the most suddenly became a stranger, who desperately wanted you dead? And if an hour later, they were back to normal? Detective Jack Arnette was a respected cop, before a hostage situation went horribly wrong. Victor Slade is a meditating, hedonistic cop-killer. When Victor makes a pickup at the Seattle docks, Jack sees a chance for redemption. A simple arrest. Respect regained. But events spin out of control when Jack and Victor are quarantined with the dock workers and a virus that can make anyone go temporarily homicidal. Trapped by a SWAT team with orders to shoot anyone who leaves the building, Jack must deal with a cop-killer who has little to lose, and a group of innocents who could become just as dangerous. Who would you trust when anyone could become a killer?
