Wynn Jensen is a career-driven, young woman noted for being thorough and pragmatic, but her world is turned upside down when strange images and a series of bizarre, destructive mishaps plague her condominium community. After her boyfriend disappears in a mini-earthquake on the grounds and the authorities have no answers, she enlists longtime friend Darius, a small group of neighbors and, eventually, a pair of British parapsychologists to help her investigate the source of the disturbances. The trail leads from possible corporate malfeasance by her financial-behemoth employer to historical misdeeds at Valley Forge National Park to the realization that some secrets refuse to be buried forever.
