It was her dark illustration of childhood fables that lured him. It was her dreams of deadly premonitions he would come to own. As Claire Cooper frantically tries to convince a cynical world of her mind link with a madman--bent on avenging his lost childhood--she realizes she has but one choice. To stop Vivian Thompson, she must become him... once and for all. Her seeming descent into madness proves the only sane solution. Fretful dreams and waking visions of a missing girl, an apple orchard and a town drowned long ago were the first to tear at Claire's idyllic New England life with her husband Paul. As the visions increased, so did the distance between them, compounding her urgency for police to heed her warnings of impending tragedy. The police, Paul and even her psychiatrist Dr. Silverman remain deaf to the silent screams of future victims haunting Claire's dreams. Too late do they realize Claire had indeed become Vivian's mind's eye.
