Trama
Durante un periglioso viaggio in treno, lo psicologo Huntington Bailey incontra una strana donna, Clarissa Bedereaux, e scambia con lei alcune battute. In seguito, a New York, Bailey apprende della misteriosa morte della sua interlocutrice. Tramite un amico entra in contatto con i congiunti della scomparsa, i Bederaux, e viene attratto dalla bellezza di Allida, la cognata di Clarissa. Bayley non può fare a meno di notare il comportamento elusivo e nevrotico di tutta la famiglia e vi si trova coinvolto quando Nick, il marito di Allida, lo invita a prendersi cura dei disturbi nervosi della donna. Grazie ad un fortuito scambio di valigie, Bailey ha modo di leggere i diari di Clarissa e scopre che lo strano comportamento della famiglia ha origini più profonde... sino all'esplosione finale del Male.
