Dr. Cara Miller is an overworked surgeon, taking a reprieve from work in her vacation home tucked in the forest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. While changing a lightbulb, she awakes to realize that she must have suffered a very serious fall. As the world around her comes into focus, she discovers that things are no longer as they seem. This new world is bizarre and sinister: physics have changed, and her senses have been altered - or perhaps she is losing her mind. She must race against time to piece together the mystery before her worst fears are confirmed. And if you think you know where her story is heading, think again.
