Madness is only a step away . . .

Tom Wallace is happy with his suburban lot. Until an evening of casual entertainment turns reality into nightmare.

Tom sees himself as a pragmatist, and when his brother-in-law challenges him to undergo hypnotism, he obliges to prove a point. So no one is more surprised than Tom when it works. But this cheap parlour trick unlocked something that now threatens his sanity, way of life and marriage. Suddenly he can sense his neighbours' darkest desires, and some are dark indeed. When shadows from the past and glimpses of the future are revealed to him, Tom tries to deny what's happening.

But as his existence becomes increasingly unbearable, the biggest revelation of all awaits -- a message from beyond the grave.
