Synopsis
'Your mother was twenty-seven when it came to her. Now you're twenty-seven, and it's come to you.' The skin of Alex's arms tingled with goosebumps. By her twenty-seventh birthday insanity had come to his mother … Turning twenty-seven may be terrifying for some, but for Alex, a struggling artist living in the mid-western United States, it's cataclysmic. Inheriting a huge expanse of land should have made him a rich and happy man; but something about this birthday, his name, and the beautiful woman whose life he just saved, has suddenly made him - and everyone he loves - into a target. A target for extreme and uncompromising violence … Where do you turn when your own reflection spells doom?
