When Sheila Traventi discovers she's pregnant with her second child, she's ecstatic. Happily married to her handsome husband, Richard, and the mother of a two- year-old boy, Tim, the future can only be promising.

When her past reappears nine years later, she is forced to confront old ghosts and new demons.
