Death was different than I had imagined it to be. I was surrounded by my own thoughts in a background of black nothingness. 
	
Who would be the one to deliver the news to my parents and sister? Would they report me missing? Would anyone ever find my body? Was I going to rot here in this black void?
	
My body felt restrained and not weightless as I had imagined. Was I in hell? Light began to fill the darkness, and I realized I wasn't dead at all.
I was in hell, but not in the spiritual sense. My hell smelled rancid and rusty. 
                                                               
                                                                                   ...

Cecelia Stallard and her friends decide that taking a trip to Mississippi is just what they need. An innocent road trip turns into a hell shared with Silas Carden, who she leaves for dead. 

Two years later, Cece does her best to live a normal life. After rejoicing in the news that Silas survived, after all, they are faced with the news that their captors may still be living. 

Will Silas and Cece's newfound relationship survive the terrors of their past, or will the ghosts that haunt their dreams come for them in reality?
