What would you do if you woke up, one day, and remembered every detail of your own death?
Eleanor Gayre perfectly remembers the man who shoot her right in the head in her room, remembers the blood splashed on the wall behind her, remembers life slipping off her motionless body that untidily fell on the bed. She remembers everything, like she watched that scene as an external viewer.
And yet Eleanor wakes up after what seemed to her a thousand years and few seconds at the same time, there is no more blood on the wall and she's still clearly able to breathe. And the man who killed her is in the same house, a guest of her unsuspecting parents. Alistair Lane, an enigmatic shape that wanders in the Gayre mansion and continues to haunt her, gently, like she has always been his eternal victim to protect and then murder. Who is he? And why does he want revenge on her?
