"What if the unique bond between twins existed beyond death?"

Tom’s twin brother Barney disappeared during a storm on a hiking trip and is presumed dead, his body never recovered. Tom’s dad blames him for his loss, but Tom is holding onto hope. Because Tom thinks Barney is alive. His gut tells him. His heart. His everything.

Deep inside him, the bond that only twins can ever understand is still there. But when Tom decides to use this twin-link to try and find out where his brother actually is, bad things start to happen. Nightmares stalk him. Visions paralyse him. And Tom soon finds his grip on reality slipping. 

With events becoming increasingly strange, Tom will eventually uncover a darkness closer than he could have ever imagined. And a bond with his brother that will ultimately save his life.All Rights Reserved
