Rory Volls is living in what could only be described as the best part of her life. Working on a new horror story while managing her book store, living with her sister and daughter, things could hardly get better. But what happens when Palmer, a childhood friend, shows up, bringing perhaps more problems? A mandatory check up doctor's appointment for her sister turns out to mean bad news, and her daughter may be having some problems of her own. What's more, strange books begin showing up in Rory's inventory, sending her on a trail of discovering things that may have been better left unknown.
