Mia makes the fateful mistake of phoning Daniel, a murderer from Melanie’s past, who believes he’s possessed by a demonic silverfish. And at midnight, on the boardwalk of a sleepy seaside town, Mia’s survival will depend not only on whether Suzanne is good or evil, but whether Mia can find out which before Daniel reaches them...
