But as Nickie brings new joy into Amy's life, an unknown and dangerous person arrives on the scene, posing a subtle and mysterious threat that quickly escalates into a series of terrifying assaults. As Amy searches for clues that will help her to identify her enemy, she and Nickie are pushed further toward the edge of a precipice, unable to turn to any authority for help.
