A mind haunted by guilt, a life sabotaged by shadows… and a love that might be the only light.
Ellen Foster visits her aunt on the California coast and meets Jeff Cohalan, a tormented architect living in an ultramodern clifftop house. When Jeff’s life unravels after his fiancée’s mysterious death—amid a series of sinister "accidents"—Ellen risks everything to expose the vengeful plot behind his misfortunes.
