After a terrible construction site accident severs Edgar Freemantleโs right arm, scrambles his mind, and implodes his marriage, the wealthy Minnesota builder faces the ordeal of rehabilitation, all alone and full of rage. Renting a house on Duma Keyโa stunningly beautiful and eerily undeveloped splinter off the Florida coastโEdgar slowly emerges from his prison of pain to bond with Elizabeth Eastlake, a sick, elderly woman whose roots are tangled deep in this place. And as he heals, he paintsโfeverishly, compulsively, his exploding talent both a wonder and a weapon. For Edgarโs creations are not just paintings, but portals for the ghosts of Elizabethโs pastโฆand their power cannot be controlledโฆ
