Sheila sleepwalks to the lake next to her house called by the locals the Black Lake. She wakes up standing in the muck at night with a moose staring into her face in the Wyoming back country where she lives. But that isn’t the worst of it. She hears men slogging along through the wet ground. She hides herself in the reeds to watch two goons dump something into the water. She approaches slowly after they are gone. It’s a dead body, the body of a young girl! Is she still dreaming or is this for real? If she closes her eyes, maybe she will wake up safe back in her bed. Anything can happen at Black Lake. Nightmares become real. But she had better figure out what to do next or she will end up in the lake herself.
