Portland Police Investigator Wayne Deetz is a mere three weeks from retirement. It's almost Christmas, and his son, Brandon, is getting married. But when Brandon's fiancée, Kristen, is confronted by a figure from her shadowy past, their joyous plans take a dark turn.

As Deetz trains his gruff and unpredictable replacement, Howard Googan, they delve into a disturbing missing-person case that hits closer to home with each new piece of evidence.

Meanwhile, unsettling events plague the Deetz household. Personal belongings vanish. Cryptic gifts appear. And a distressing discovery makes one thing terrifyingly clear—someone is watching. And listening.
