Josie Burns and her little sister, Emily, are coping with the loss of their brother Andy, who disappeared from his bed in the middle of the night six years ago. Forced to move to Maine to live with two great aunts after their parents separate, they discover that a shared dream and a mysterious cupboard hidden in the basement hold the key to their brother's whereabouts. A foreign land that exists in a different time and the sinister man who rules it draw the sisters closer to an answer...and to a secret that will change their lives forever.
