Chyna Shepherd, at 26, is very much alone in the world. Growing up with a hippie mother, Chyna's bleak childhood was filled with fear and confusion. While visiting the home of her best and only friend Laura, Chyna miraculously survives the brutal and senseless murders of Laura and her entire family. Chyna's nightmare continues when she accidently gets trapped in the killer's mobile home. Although the homicidal Vess functions normally in the everyday world, he is abhorrent and terrifying in the extreme. When Chyna discovers that Vess's next victim is an adolescent girl, she tries to stop him. No longer helpless, Chyna matches wits with the brilliant Vess in a contest for her life and her sanity.

In einer lauen Sommernacht dringt ein Mann in ein idyllisches Landhaus im Herzen Oregons ein, das von einer jungen Frau und ihrer Familie bewohnt wird. Edgler Foreman Vess heißt der Eindringling, der es liebt, Worte aus den Buchstaben seines Namens zu bilden - wie z.B. "God fears me", Gott fürchtet mich - und sie seinen Opfern zuflüstert, ehe er sie umbringt...
