Leah parties hard to make up for lost time, after an eight year marriage to a dull accountant. She revels in the exciting club scene, dancing and drinking till the morning hours, her body twisting and turning to the pounding disco music of the early eighties. The rough-hewn man she chooses to drink with energizes her all night forays to downtown Heaven. Leah submits to his control before she realizes that her life with him has become a violent nightmare. During a quiet weekend with her daughter at her dad's remote hunting camp in Riverville, Pennsylvania, Leah meets a reclusive writer. Raymond Paine is handsome, polite and helpful to her and Stacy. He is shy to the point of being backward but seems innocent and willing to do anything for them. Her jealous boyfriend makes her pay for showing her new friend a fun night on the town. She lies broken on the floor, living in a hell of her own making. Leah reaches out to Ray for help and friendship, unwittingly unleashing an unimaginable force of terror. Ray Paine is wrestling with his own demons. His dream of being the kind of person that Leah could love is destroyed by his twin, Thomas. He will not allow Ray to pursue a relationship in a world he cannot enter. The lives of the twins are more twisted than anyone can fathom. Doctor Feingold discovers the truth, but too late. Ray Paine's twitching eye becomes a cold, deadly glare. His evil presence is palpable, making the Doctor's skin crawl. The death toll mounts as New York State Police Investigator Todd Williams searches frantically for answers. The Elmira Institute holds the secret to the madness surrounding the Paine twins. It was built on the site of the infamous Elmira Prison where three thousand confederate soldiers perished from starvation and disease. One hundred twenty years later, wretched souls, tortured by psychosis of the worst sort, die tragically at the same spot while the building is consumed by flames. Identical twins, delicately balanced by good and evil, cannot be separated. Take a trip to the fantasy world of twins who make their own rules and seek judgment against those who do them wrong.
