HAUNTING SARAH

There is a fine line between light and dark, good and evil, and birth and death. What happens when that line is crossed—with a vengeance?

Identical twins Erica and Heather (Kim Raver, 24) have always shared a unique bond. Now in their thirties, with parallel lives, it’s as strong as ever. Both are happily married, both have fulfilling careers, and both are doting mothers to eight-year-olds. But Erica’s daughter Sarah (Niamh Wilson, Celeste in the City) and Heather’s son David (Ryland Thiessen) have a bond themselves: more like siblings than cousins, the children are inseparable. The two families also share the anguish of a devastating tragedy when David is struck by a car and killed. Erica wonders how she’ll ever be able to explain to her daughter that her favourite playmate is dead. But Erica needn’t worry. Sarah already knows that David has gone away. David told her so himself.

In addition to her strange confession, Sarah exhibits bizarre behaviours and manifestations: inexplicable bruises on her body, claims of increasingly intense and frightening night-visits from David, a sudden and strange new shared secret with David’s mother Heather, and prescient visions—including that of her mother’s unexpected pregnancy. For Erica, the blessing comes with inexplicable paranoia, and a fear for her daughter’s well-being. For Heather, the pregnancy signals something else—evidence that her son has not only come back from the dead, but has done so with chilling purpose. Now, the line between life and death is about to be crossed, and for those playing David’s games, there will be no safe return.

In the tradition of such classics of the macabre as Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, and The Others comes a spellbinding chiller with a twist that tops them all.
