She becomes obessed with the last family to own the house-a family ripped apart after a violent arguement left one brother dead and the other, Adam, a fugitive. Driven to photograpg the house, Justine discovers ghostly images in her pictures, images she knows she did not record. Even more unsettling, she becomes aware that someone is sharing her obession with Adam and is stalking her, watching her.

Halfway around the world, Adam writes letters to a woman he's dreamed about since he was a child, but has never met. One day he sees a picture in a magazine-it is Justine. That she's living in his family home is a coincedence he cannot ignore. Drawn to his mystery woman, Adam leaves his place of exile and risks all to satisfy his yearning for her.

Adam believes he and Justine are soul mates-but will they be able to overcome their pasts and defy the dangers awaiting them to find a future?
