Blood on snow. The flash of a blade.

Waking in a hospital with no memories except dreams of violent death, Amanda Holloway is haunted by unfamiliar faces in mirrors and strange voices in her head. The few memories she recalls just don't match the past described to her by her sister, Allison, and her ex-boyfriend, Detective Nathan Palmer. Little by little, she realizes her nightmares and visions connect to a murder case Nathan is investigating. Two women were stabbed only minutes before the nearby car accident that had landed Amanda in the hospital and robbed her of her identity.

Skeptical Nathan rejects Amanda's theory that she is communicating with the dead women, being guided by them to help solve their murders. Because she knows details she couldn't possibly have heard through the media, he believes she was a witness, though he finds no link between her and the victims. All he knows for certain is that the Amanda who woke in that hospital is very different from the woman he knew before.

A new man in Amanda's life brings more complications. As their relationship develops, she suspects he, too, is somehow connected to the murders. Is she sinking into paranoia and insanity? But it isn't her imagination that her life is suddenly in danger. She is stalked, and then attacked. She must discover the truth to save herself. Now the race is on for Amanda and Nathan to exhume her buried memories and solve his case before someone silences both Amanda and the voices in her head forever.
