Lindsey lives in a flower garden, a rose garden to be more exact. Her father cultivates white roses. One night she dreams about a dark shadow in a hooded cloak who invades the garden dropping red rose petals instead. She chases Lindsey and she gets caught in a tomb of rosebushes and thorns. She can’t escape until she wakes up only to find out that her father’s garden really has been invaded by red rose petals. They seem to be blowing in on a storm from the sea. And the robe that the dream image wore is standing there starting at her sending chills up her spine. When she grabs it nothing is there. It is caught on a thorn. But it keeps on appearing again and again until somebody at play practice steps on a particularly nasty thorn. Is a prankster at work? Who is invading the garden? The same girl who is stealing her boyfriend? Or it it something worse?
