Alice Simpson is an eleven-year-old girl much like any other, except for the ever-present specter of her tragic past. Her single mother works hard to provide for Alice, which means sometimes being home alone. That is when the nightmares come. Following just such a night, after a blizzard has left behind feet of snow, the three strangers who passed in and out of Alice's life will be drawn into her nightmare world...and through The White Door. Harry Breedlove is a cop chasing a murderer seemingly more beast than man. The clues he finds all appear to lead to nothing. His frustration, and a desire for answers, will send him through... Katie is a young woman trapped in a nightmare of her own, that of watching her mother slowly be ravaged by cancer. Her grief will push her through... Arthur Dodgson is a man feeling trapped by middle-age circumstances he never dreamed would shape his life. His desire for escape will entice him through... They all have their own reasons, their own motivations, to enter...The White Door. What awaits them there not even little Alice Simpson knows, but together they must find the answers that will lead them through the nightmare world and back to the one they left behind. Alice is the key, but can they unlock the mysteries in time to escape with their lives?
