Screams in the night...A gut-wrenching phone call...A life-and-death race against time... Deep in the woods of upstate New York a woman flees a blazing barn. Burned beyond recognition, her dying words point police to a labyrinth of 'confinement rooms'-rooms designed to hold human beings captive-where they make other chilling discoveries. In Manhattan, Kate Page, a single mom and reporter with a newswire service, receives a heart-stopping call from a detective on the case. A guardian angel charm found at the scene fits the description of the one belonging to Kate's sister, Vanessa, who washed away after a car crash in a mountain river twenty years ago. Kate has spent much of her life searching for the truth behind her little sister's disappearance. Now, a manhunt for a killer who's kept a collection of victims prisoner for years without detection becomes her final chance to either mourn Vanessa's death-or save her life.
