When Ann LeSage was a little girl, she had an invisible friend- a poltergeist that spoke to her with flying knives and howling winds. She called it the Insect, and with a little professional help, she contained it. But the nightmares never truly ended and as Ann grew from a girl to a young woman, the Insect grew with her. It became more than terrifying. It became a thing of murder. Now, as she embarks on a new life, Ann believes she has the Insect under control but there are others attempting to take it away from her. They are the 'Geisters and in perusing their own perverse dream, they risk spawning the most terrible nightmare of all.
