Alexis Roberts is asleep one night when someone breaks into her home and tries to assault her. Escaping serious harm, the invasion leaves her scared and shaken. Hearing impaired and unable to find her cochlear implants in the darkness, Alexis could neither see nor hear the intruder. A year ago she had married Marcus-- attentive, charming, fluent in ASL. But after the wedding she discovered the secrets in his life: his first wife is missing, suspected dead. And Marcus disappeared without a trace. Now living in an isolated neighborhood with no family and friends nearby to help, Alexis feels trapped in a home that has become a nightmare, unsure who Marcus really is, what he's capable of doing-- and waiting for the intruder to return. -- adapted from jacket
