No one, including the psychiatrist at Lakewood Sanatorium, has been able to find out what exactly happened in the horrific fire. Chandal has settled in Los Angeles, where she healed, got romantically involved with her agent, Ron Talon, and started working in the movies. But then Chandal finds herself sitting in a cab in the middle of New York City somehow, having no idea how she got there. She is frightened and bewildered by an inexplicable force that seems to be taking over her heart and mind. It is only when she is back in her old neighborhood, at the very place where she nearly died, does Chandal find peace. After she starts wearing a red-veined stone, hanging from a tarnished chain, a charming carriage house on West 85th Street becomes available for her to live in and then she lands a major part in a new play. But terrifying visions and flashbacks begin—confused, dark, deeply sexual—the source of which she cannot remember. Worried about her, Ron Talon brings Chandal’s psychiatrist with him to New York, where they find her talking about possession, of being turned into someone else. While all believe Chandal is slipping away into insanity, she is facing, by herself, the insidious evil that has so patiently been waiting for her return.… (más)
