Janine Hartschorn nearly dies giving birth to her stillborn son, and while hovering between life and death, she encounters Charon, the Greek mythological ferryman of the dead. Instead of going with him peacefully, she throws the coins for her passage to the next world at him, and that defiant act sets off the ferryman's obsession with her. Recovering, she tries to move on, putting Spencer, the cruel father of her baby, in the past, and rekindling a romance with David, whom she left for Spencer. But supernatural occurrences threaten the couple. David glimpses people from his past who are long dead, and Charon stalks Janine. Meanwhile, their friend Annette seems to have met the woman of her dreams, Jill, but Jill bears an uncanny resemblance to a young woman for whose accidental death David is responsible. As the supernatural beings become more menacing, David and Janine are forced to fight for their lives and the lives of all those they love. A gripping tale from a genre master.
