It's been eight years since bestselling author Sam Kent was arrested for the Storybook Murders. Eight years is a long time for a man to spend alone with his demons and to come to terms with his past. But, not long enough for some to come around. Sam still swore he was innocent.

Reagan DuSaint was the true monster. The only problem -- at least for Sheila Marksberry, prison psychiatrist, was that Reagan DuSaint didn't actually exist. Sheila had spent over 300 sessions trying to explain this minor detail to Kent with no results. All she wanted was a confession from the writer. All Sam Kent wanted was for someone to believe him.

Then came the sand. Just a handful of grains, but enough to seal the fate for both doctor and patient.

Sand. Something so small, sets off a cataclysmic chain of events. Follow the good doctor and author as their search for answers takes them further and further into a different realm...

And face to face with Reagan DuSaint.
