Nine year old Melanie was kidnapped by her own father at the age of three. For several years her father kept her locked in the basement, undergoing scientific experiments to aid his research. This involved being forced to sit in an electric chair to learn to block out pain and left for hours at a time in a sensory deprivation tank, and denied the chance to leave the basement or have any contact with the outside world. After her father and his friends are brutally murdered, Melanie is found wandering the streets naked and deeply catatonic, terrified of what she calls "The Door To December". It also seems that somebody is after the girl. Now it's up to Melanie's mother, a policeman named Dan and a hired bodyguard named Earl to protect the autistic, troubled girl, discover who's behind the murders, who's after Melanie, and learn the truth about the mysterious "Door To December" that the girl is terrified of.
