"They were strangers. A handful of people. From different backgrounds, living in different towns and cities across America, they had nothing in common - Except fear. They were victims. Cold and stark, an unknown terror gripped their dreams and turned their days into living nightmares. They were chosen. And they could not escape.

The Vision

My synopsis: at the age of 6, Mary Bergen was badly hurt and she nearly died. When she left the hospital, though, she found that this gruesome experience left her with a disquieting heritage. She's a clairvoyant, now, and she's helped the police on numerous cases for years. Twentyfour years after those nightmarish events, though, her past comes back to haunt her as a chain of hideous murders grips the city. Mary, in fact, feels that the killer is looking for her and that he's the same person who raped her as a child. From now on, she'll have to fight against a blind fury, clinging to her courage and her clairvoyancy. |

They're out there - But don't scream. They'll hear you." |
