Although accident victim Hatch Harrison dies en route
to the hospital, a brilliant physician miraculously
resuscitates him. Hatch and his wife, Lindsey, approach
each day with a new appreciation for the beauty of
life-until a series of mysterious and frightening events
brings them face to face with the unknown. Although
Hatch was given no glimpse of an Afterlife during the
period when his heart was stopped, he has reason to fear
that he has brought a terrible Presence back with him
from the land of the dead.

When people who have wronged the Harrisons begin to die
violently, Hatch comes to doubt his own innocence-and
must confront the possibility that this life is just 
a prelude to another, darker place. He and Lindsey are
forced to fight not only for their own survival but for
that of Regina, the delightful and exceptional disabled
child who has given meaning and purpose to their lives. 
With growing desperation, Lindsey and Hatch seek the
truth along a twisted trail that leads eventually to an
abondoned amusement park-and a confrontation with purest
evil.
