And After That.. the Dark

As a teenager in a South Carolina backwater town -- on a night when the air was thick as amber -- Emily Wilkop watched as a man was brutally murdered.

For fifteen years she kept still...and paid a devastating price for her silence -- always terrified of the dark, and of the killer who might one day step out again from the shadows.

Now Emily is grown, trying to build a life for herself and her late sister's troubled daughter, and struggling with her feelings for an ex-big city cop.

But the secret she has so carefully guarded is coming back to haunt her -- in a small, Southern community where everyone keeps their dark secrets to themselves.

And now, someone wants to scare Emily ...

... TO DEATH!
