Samantha Mathis relives unspeakable horror night after night. It leaves her to lie broken on cold concrete, drowning in her own blood until dawn lurches her awake to the knowledge her recurring nightmare will soon be her reality.

She hoped she'd never have to reveal her secret to anyone, but staring down at Peter's broken body by the river's edge, she knew she had to tell police chief George Mitchell. After being accused of Peter's murder and barely escaping prosecution, Samantha prayed her prophetic nightmares would disappear forever. Twenty years later, nightmares return to Samantha Mathis, Registered Nurse, and this time she's the intended victim.
