Ray Watts is recently — if not entirely happily—married. His art career is moribund and his heart just isn’t in his job writing zombie books. When his friend Jo brings her niece Faye to his struggling art gallery for a visit, he feels an instant spark.

His art career springs miraculously to life, and he’s enthralled with the tablet game Faye turned him onto. But there’s something strange about his new job, and, come to think of it, about that game too. Oh, and there are those local girls that have gone missing…

Soon everything Ray holds dear is at risk — his marriage, his new job and the people he loves.
