Step Fletcher, his wife, DeAnne, and their three children move to Stueben, North Carolina, thinking--hoping--it might just be the right place for them. Its traditional values coincide with theirs, and step has the promise of a good job at a hot software company. But Steuben is definitely not right for their oldest child, eith-year-old Stevie. Introspective even in the most comfortable surroundings, Stevie becomes progressively more withdrawn from this alien place. Soon he is animated only by computer games and a troop of ficticious playmates. The Fletchers' concern for Stevie turns to terror when they discover that other young boys have disappeared from Steuben--and someone seems to be stalking Stevie.
