THE GREENSTICK SNAP! OF A SHATTERED SPINE TRANSFORMS A LOVING YOUNG MAN INTO A MALIGN AND VENGEFUL FORCE.
If you're an optimist you've probably heard the expression, 'When one door closes, another one opens.' But for Peter Gardner, a young man fresh out of high school with a literal bank of doorways standing open to him, they all slam shut at once. A terrible accident leaves him quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck down, shattering his dreams of flying, tearing his family apart, and ending a cherished relationship with his girl. Now, he wishes only for death.
But ironically, it is a brush with death which opens a new door for Peter. And when he 'steps' through, it is not into sunlight and promise, but into the darkest reaches of fury, torment and revenge.
So ask yourself this: "Do I have the courage to step through with him?"
PRAISE FOR SEAN COSTELLO

"Costello knows how to tantalize his readers, priming them for the horrors to come..." --Rave Reviews
