'A New Millenium
On 31 December 1999, Australian advertising creative Guy
Russell arrives in New York along with his fragile wife and their
young son. A painful tragedy has led them to swap Melbourne for
Manhattan, and seek a fresh start.
'A New Beginning.
With a new job secured at a thriving midtown agency, and
temporary residence obtained in the Upper West Side's Olcott
Hotel - a building with a morbid history of its own - Guy feels that
now is the time to lay his troubles to rest.
'A New Nightmare.
Yet something won't let him. And as a sinister force from Guy's
past begins to scratch its way back into his present, the behaviour
of his son, Callum, also starts to become increasingly disturbing
and chilling.
'As Guy begins to believe that Callum is being possessed by this
dark force, others fear he is gradually dispossessing himself of his
own sanity. And as Guy grapples with whether the evil tormenting
him is in his surroundings, his son, or his own mind, he pushes
himself ever closer to the edge.' (Publication summary)
