      Posledný vydesený výkrik a v nasledujúcej sekunde sa všetko okolo nej rozkrútilo. Koč sa s ňou kotúľal, kým neprišiel zničujúci náraz, ktorý rozmetal jej myšlienky a otriasol ňou až do špiku kostí. Potom prišla bolesť a ľadová voda. A keď všetky pocity zmizli, načiahla sa za ňou ruka a vzápätí ju obklopila tma… Uprostred ničivej búrky sa koč s tromi cestujúcimi – sirom Johnom Mayfieldom, lady Mariannou Mayfieldovou a jej spoločníčkou – zrúti z útesu a navždy zmení ich osudy. V koči napokon nájdu iba dve osoby – vážne zraneného sira Johna a ženu so vzácnym prsteňom na ruke, ktorá je v bezvedomí. Zachránená sa preberie v neznámom dome a zápasí s útržkovitými spomienkami na nehodu, so znepokojujúcimi snami o dieťati, ktoré sa ocitlo v ohrození, a s tajomstvom skrytom v prsteni na svojej ruke. Obklopená neznámymi tvárami a prenasledovaná zlou predtuchou si zrazu uvedomí, že nemôže veriť vôbec nikomu a že musí odhaliť pravdu o tom, čo sa stalo počas tej búrlivej noci, hoci nebezpečenstvo rastie a nepriatelia sa sprisahali proti nej.
