Description: A woman is found brutally murdered, her tongue and eyes ritualistically gouged out. Children are being abducted and then returned to their families days later without a scratch and with no knowledge of where they have been or with whom. Already worried about uprooting young son Bobby to follow her reporter boyfriend Jack Garrett back to his hometown, DC Laura McGanity must quickly get a handle on these mystifying cases terrifying the people of Blackley. Meanwhile, as Jack delves deeper into the cases, he finds murky connections between the two crimes. Most astonishing of all, he meets a man who 'paints' the future terrible events come to him in vivid dreams which he then puts onto canvas. This 'precognition' is not so much a gift as a curse and to Jack it becomes terrifyingly clear that many people, including his own family, are in danger...
