There, he discovers the secretive couple who initially took in the young Hawksbys, along with their collection of strange, seemingly permanent guests. But there&’s still no sign of the children. Plagued by vivid nightmares and a persistent feeling that he&’s being watched, Randall searches the imposing woods and lake for any trace of Michael and Frances.
