Marcus runs a modest bookshop and is delighted when his boyfriend Jonathon proposes. But then the nightmares begin -- the image of an angel in a vast, darkened cellar, or of him, unable to move, with Jonathon in danger. There also seems to be someone following him. When Jonathon has to return to his family home to take possession of his grandmother's inheritance, Marcus insists on going with him. While staying in the nearby inn, Marcus meets a woman who cautions him, offering him a medallion for protection. To Marcus's surprise, he receives a summons to his guardian's home on All Hallow's Eve for Lord Kyrin to discuss his own inheritance. But this is the start of the real nightmare for Marcus. He and Jonathon will need to fight for their lives and break a curse that's taken the lives of many before.
