Penny Crescent. One street. Three houses. Three families. Countless disputes. Physics teacher Frank Harper educates with his fists behind closed doors. Jenny Dean can barely control her wayward teenage sons and Eleanor McQuire, the old mystic, is happy with her books and visiting grandson. For one night, the residents of Penny Crescent must put their differences aside. Death is coming. Some call him the man in black. Others call him the devil. He is The Collector, and the three families have something he wants... And he'll go to any length to get it.
