Gavin Pierce, a homicide detective with the Nassau County Police Department, discovers the horrific collision at the New York Aquarium was no drunk driving accident. When the local police get there, they find the passenger in the van is dead, but the driver is missing.

A small lobster claw roach clip in the ashtray, a clue linking to other supposed "accidents," may prove more revealing than the mass collection of fingerprints and hair specimens that raise more questions than answers.

Gavin desperately needs to find the driver, one of a mysterious clan that celebrates the end of every wild party with a murderous crash...a stunningly long-standing tradition.

Under the twisted, smoldering remains of a successful and violent night out, there is no shortage of clues, evidence or victims, all pointing to a predator whose ancient expertise is matched only by an unnerving ability to escape capture.

After several accidents, Gavin joins forces with the twin sister of one of the victims. For both of them, the hunt for the killer is personal. Linked by a common goal and their growing concern for each other, they are forced to open the darkest doors of hypnosis, reincarnation and the occult, leading them to startling truths about their enemy. Truths that must be kept hidden from the media, and even the police, if the madness is to end. Truths that turn the hunters into the hunted.
