Nine months ago, when visited by a muse, Tom McManus wrote a prophetic story. As predicted in the story Tom has lost his wife and unborn child during birth, and now he's running for his life. A coven of witches has chosen Tom because he is unlucky enough to have a life-force that shines more brightly when he suffers intense sorrow. Now he must escape from the coven or they will use him to call upon the Goddess and renew their youth. As the full moon and the time of the ceremony draw near, with the help of Megan Birch, the woman that appeared as his muse, Tom flees from town to town. Ultimately they are driven, by shadow beings and hypnotic songs, to the very location they are trying to avoid. While struggling to evade the coven Tom finds himself falling for Megan even though his family just died. Now he must decide if what he's feeling is real and if he has the strength to go through with the plan to ruin the ritual and save Megan's life.
