Skye's mother, Jessie Dancer, is abducted from her home and held captive by a disturbed killer who calls himself a "prospector". Skye and her brother were only babies at the time. He eventually drowns Jessie in the "haunted" Lake Odawa, but keeps her daughter- she'd been pregnant at the time, though no one knew- Summer Dancer, in a pit in a cave high up on Wolf's Head Mountain.
The book covers twenty years in the life of Charlie Crane- his real name- reclusive mountain man and murderer of many as his mind slowly deteriorates. At times, he completely forgets about the girl down in the pit.
Then comes the storm of the century. Skye and two close friends, Rider Bishop and a boy called Snake, after many terrifying experiences, rescue the girl from the rising waters in the pit where she has somehow survived for the past fifteen years. Skye is in for the surprise of her life!
As the platform slowly rises up from the black hole, Skye screams. The girl who crouches there is the exact image of herself.
