One moment, Kate Colson is lonely and single. The next, she's the newlywed bride of Russel Wright, a handsome financier who sweeps her off her feet and into the elite world of the Connecticut contryside. Eager to meet her new in-laws, Kate expects to live happily as the mistress of Wrightsbridge. But the sprawling mansion's other occupants...ancient Auntie Cee and Russell's twin sister Rosalind...are oddly elusive, perhaps even sinister. And so, Kate realizes with growing dread, is Russell himself...

Bewildered by her husband's transformation into an enigmatic, brooding stranger, Kate restlessly wanders the dimly lit corridors and tangled gardens of the family estate. She doesn't dare tell anyone...not even Russell...about the secret attic room she's discovered, or the eerie images only she can see and hear. As danger looms closer with every phantom footfall, Kate boldly delves into Wrighsbridge's murky past, stumbling across a long-buried family secret that will threaten her marriage...and her life...
