"Mary Cross has been forced to accept the world of the supernatural because of an experience that left her with the ability to hear--but not see--the supernatural. She survived three weeks of being kidnapped and tortured, and it has left her emotionally and physically scarred. Across the street from her house, strange things are happening ... Mysterious noises haunt the residents, faucets turn on by themselves, and footsteps can be heard running up and down the stairs. It all centers around Noah, a two year old child."
