Publisher's Synopsis
Mrs. Dawes used to work at the Danvers Mental Hospital for the Insane during the 1980's, and she thought it was all in the past. Now, in 1999, she's a workaholic psychiatrist doting on troubled teens, but she's so busy with her career, that her own teenage son, Rudger, is rebelling and spinning out of control. After an incident that flooded the entire floor of his junior high school, he's been suspended, seemingly for good. His mother thinks that by traveling to the abandoned mental hospital from her university days in Massachusetts, it'll be a chance to reconnect with Rudger and recover her own lost memories from many years back. Of course, the sinister old Victorian pillars and arches have absorbed the horrors of previous eras, from lobotomies to electroshock therapy, and things won't be going as planned. After all, some places are better left alone...
