Yet as Jamie enters the world of college, embarking on his studies and an exciting new romance, visions from his past, and flashes from an unfamiliar present suggest that all is not as it would appear. Has Jamie been prowling in the night when he thinks he's been sleeping? And if so, is there now blood on his hands?
