Kensei Tucker is a survivor. Ten years ago, she and four other college students were abducted and tortured by a serial killer who went by the name 'Nightmare'. Kensei was the only survivor of this terrifying ordeal - saved by a grizzled homicide detective named Henry Sloane. Fast forward and Kensei has moved on with her life. She's made a home in the sleepy seaside town of Hawkins Landing, where she works as a private investigator at Henry's agency, and life is good ... until her phone rings. It seems that Nightmare is back and has abducted five new girls. This should be impossible because Nightmare is dead ... almost a decade ago, Henry Sloane emptied an entire clip into his chest. Mac Jacobs works in Intelligence with the NYPD, and his sister, Emily, is one of Nightmare's new victims. Benched from the case, Mac can think of only one way to find Emily, and this leads him straight to the door of Nightmare's only survivor. Will Kensei and Mac outwit an insane killer before it's too late? Or will Nightmare finally get what he's always dreamed of ... Kensei Tucker?
