What do you do if your three-year-old daughter comes home from a visit to her father with an alarming black painting and babbling about killing? For Tess, struggling with her recent break-up, finding the truth becomes an obsessive quest, one that risks everything she has. If all the twists don’t work, this is still a haunting investigation of our darkest fears.
