Now, Melanie has been found, a nine-year-old wandering the Los Angeles streets with blank eyes and a secret in her soul she will not or cannot reveal. Dylan has been found too - or at least his mangled remains. Melanie is home again.

But can she ever truly be safe - as the floodgates of terror open and the bloody torrent comes pouring through...?
