Praying for revenge...Psycho killer Michael Hrubek has escaped to find the woman who put him away. He'll show her what killing is all about...Praying for salvation...Lis knows he's out there. He's haunted every sleepless night, watching and waiting to take her to hell with him...And now Lis is Praying for Sleep.
Michael Hrubek is not quite as insane as all the doctors seem to think. He is on a mission, and it is scary. He escapes from a mental hospital to wreak revenge on those he believes responsible for all his problems. This is a nail-biter, complete with floods, storms, and people with various reasons to capture him.
