    Profesoru poezie na odlehlé Vermontské univerzitě Jonahu Baumovi se celý život převrátí vzhůru nohama, když jeho žena Rebecca a malá dcerka Sally zmizí z domova. Nic neukazuje na únos — žádné stopy vraždy, žádný důkaz, že Rebecca Jonaha opustila. Jen Sallyiny mrazivé kresby, Jonahovy malé lži a šerifovy obavy, že nic není takové, jak to vypadá. I Sallyina nejlepší kamarádka Lucinda ví, že Sally by jen tak nezmizela, když spolu sdílejí tolik tajemství — zvlášť to, co viděly v lese. A Lucinda přísahala, že tohle tajemství si nechá pro sebe. V den pětadvacátého výročí zmizení své ženy a dcery najde Jonah v lese malou dívenku. Nemohla by to být Sally? Je holčička vůbec skutečná, nebo je jen výplodem Jonahova zoufalství a smutku? Anebo se v temných lesích odehrává něco zlověstnějšího?
