Michael "River" Corbett — Confined in the state mental hospital and
heavily drugged since the death of his wife, River cannot remember what
truly happened the night he was arrested for her murder. But now someone
is trying to kill him, and he is forced to run for his life. A fugitive
from the law and from someone who wants him dead, all he wants is the
truth.
Cassandra "Jax" Jackson — The uncompromising police lieutenant knows
she's putting her career on the line when she encounters this desperate
stranger and doesn't turn him in. Something in River's eyes has Jax
convinced he's worth saving...whether he wants it or not.
Dawn Jones — The daughter of a madman, Jax's young friend is haunted by
voices she doesn't want to hear. But she can no longer ignore the curse
she inherited from her twisted father — because unless she listens to
what the dead are telling her, Jax might be doomed to join them.
