There is something very wrong with the house on Drunk Horse road, something that bothers Thursday, even as he and Alice make it their home. There are always strange noises and shadows that come with a new house, but in these shadows a sinister existence is watching, and waiting.

When Thursday becomes trapped in limbo he must find a way to get back to the real world and save Alice from the creature haunting their home, but Thursday's crossing could mean the end of the world. And as with all ends, there is undoubtable Death to answer to.
