Vyšetřovatelé měli okamžitě jasno: znovu zaútočil sériový vrah, kterého bulvár překřtil na Shropshirskou zmiji. Všechny jeho oběti vypadaly, jako by opustily svět v nejšťastnější chvíli svého života. Nedaleko odtamtud začal nový život Ben Hofland. V ospalé vesničce, kde se narodil a kam se teď po rozvodu vrátil s jedenáctiletým synem, konečně našel práci. Jako by se pro něj i pro Ollieho všechno začalo obracet k lepšímu. Poprvé za pár měsíců se Ben cítí doopravdy šťastný… Ale neví, že jeho a Ollieho někdo sleduje. Někdo, kdo pro Bena nechce nic než štěstí. Štěstí… a smrt.

Místo snového dobrodružství zažili noční můru, na kterou vzpomínat nechtějí, spíš by ji rádi natrvalo vymazali z paměti. Jenže zlo, které se jim nalepilo na paty v tom strašlivém domě uprostřed lesů, je sleduje až domů do Londýna. Hrůza nekončí…

Postává pod jejími okny, vyhrožuje jejímu bývalému příteli, maže z jejího počítače emaily, které hrozí, že by mohly zhatit jeho plány. Nedělají snad tohle všichni zamilovaní? Tohle přece není stalking - to je láska. Vyděšené Siobhan se nakonec podaří Alexe odradit, jenže vzápětí zjišťuje, že už bez něho nedokáže žít… a rozhodne se pomstít. Z oběti se stává stalker, ze stalkera oběť. Je v lásce opravdu vše dovoleno, včetně vraždy?
