Each June, the Foxes embark on a journey, driving the winding roads of Appalachia to drop off their children for a two-week stay at their grandmother's. Here, twelve-year-old Thea revels in the freedom, breathing in the scents of pine, fresh bread, and Grammie's handmade candles. But as her parents head back to suburban Virginia, they are unaware that they are about to cross paths with a ticking time bomb.

Back in Kentucky, both Thea and her grandmother Lucy awaken from the same nightmare. Though they have never discussed the special kind of sight they share, they immediately recognize the gravity of the situation when their tearful eyes meet. The children will now be staying with Grammie in Redbud Hollow, and thanks to Thea's vision, their parents' killer will spend his life in supermax.

Over time, Thea will forge new friendships, build a career, and find love. Yet, the ability to see into minds and souls still lingers within her. While Grammie calls it a gift, Thea sees it as more of a curse, for the inmate who shattered her childhood has the same ability. Thea can hear his twisted thoughts and witness his evil acts from miles away. He knows it, and he hungers for vengeance.

A long, silent battle will be waged between them, one that will eventually bring them face to face, and head to head. The stakes are high, and the outcome will determine the fate of not just Thea, but everyone she holds dear.
