She knows she has been kidnapped, and that somehow she must stay alive, even though the terror seizing her heart tells her she won't. Miraculously, she escapes. One nightmare is over. But another is about to start.

To her shock, Abbie discovers that all her memories about her past-where she lives, whether she has a job, where she stands with her boyfriend-seem to be wrong. As the police question her credibility, she realizes there's only one way to reclaim her mind and her life. She must dare to retrace her steps to the place where all the horror began-and confront a madman before he strikes again...
