Orphaned at thirteen and shuffled through foster care, Chloe Stanton never quite belonged.

 

Her life takes on a Cinderella quality when she marries Scott, a brilliant neuroscientist who finally gives her the love and security she always craved. She goes from an artist on the edge, to an artist with a one-woman show in San Francisco’s Union Square. She lives in a beautiful home. She has everything—until Scott’s research assistant turns up dead and Chloe starts asking questions.

Why is Scott so secretive about his research? Why does he insist she take medication? And most chilling, why does she have the same recurring vision of a population of empty, emotionless souls?
