He has been having recurring dreams, and as he digs deeper into the events surrounding his family, he realizes that Anne’s recent study of her patients could well be a catalyst for the menacing, strange events around them.

When he investigates head on to save Anne and their unborn child, Ben discovers that the well house is a portal to another dimension and encounters mystery after mystery, drawing him from one dimension into another, further into a world of dreams, of good versus evil.
