Haunted by the graphic image of her slain mother, Jade is forced to leave her friends behind when she moves in with her estranged father and his new family. The teen is angry, alone and afraid, living hundreds of miles from home where she is certain she will never make new friends. But a friendship was indeed waiting just on the fringe of accepted reality. In her room or perhaps only in her mind resides a girl; dark, mysterious and also quite dead. The entity that no one else can see or hear will cause Jade to question her sanity as she comes to fully comprehend the Writing On the Wall.
