Dani Greenlaw’s adult life is satisfyingly boring, a vast improvement from her tragic and troubled childhood, until she has to identify long-lost Uncle Percy’s corpse in the city medical examiner’s office. Adding to her surprise, she is deemed next of kin and given his paltry estate: a ramshackle cottage secluded in the woods and a broken pocket watch.
The seemingly worthless pocket watch is a mystery of physics. Nothing seems to affect it, damage it, or influence it. And yet it won’t tell time. It is a mere curiosity until Dani discovers that deadly men stalk her, killing anyone in their path to obtain the mysterious broken watch.
The mystifying situation gets stranger when Dani confronts a shadowy pursuer who confesses to being none other than her Uncle Percy, miraculously resurrected!
Percy 2.0 explains that his decades-old science accident caused an unprecedented, earth-shaking effect, and the key to it all is the watch. Aided by Agent James Ricardo from the California Bureau of Investigation, along with Percy 2.0, Dani is swept into a twisted, dangerous game with sinister players who desire what the watch unlocks at any cost.
Not all who seek the watch are human, or alive. Unseen, and untouchable by material hands, another entity lurks in wait, coveting the watch’s power to impose its vengeance and bring with it the cold darkness of its terrifying world.
