Lisa Melton is a typical college student: she studies at the campus coffee spot, stresses over tests and even goes to parties with her friends. But when she wakes up one morning with no memory of the night before, looking like the victim of an brutal assault, and starts seeing a giant black dog in her dorm room-everything around her starts to spiral wildly out of control. Suddenly, Lisa's life isn't so humdrum anymore as she meets a mysterious and handsome man who seems to know more about her than she seems to even know herself. Who is this man: is he simply a supernatural stalker or is he something more? Lisa has little time to decide what to think of him, before she is tangled up in a web of kidnappings, brutal murders, a pack of strange giant black dogs, and an ancient family feud that takes her overseas and within inches of her own sanity.
