Overview
"Suspenso constante." —Stephen King
Heather Baxter ha logrado cambiar de vida: se ha casado con Tom, un joven y brillante médico, viudo y padre de dos hijos. Cuando su flamante marido recibe una invitación para asistir a un congreso en Australia, deciden que toda la familia lo acompañe para afianzar la relación entre Heather y los hijos adolescentes de Tom.
Visitar la minúscula Isla Holandesa parece un sueño hecho realidad: koalas, canguros y aves exóticas al alcance de la mano, algo imposible de experimentar en ningún otro lugar del mundo. Sin embargo, lo que parecían unas idílicas vacaciones acabará tomando un rumbo muy distinto. "La Holandesa" es una isla privada dominada por el clan de los O’Neill, una familia que no perdonará un lamentable accidente, y convertirá las vacaciones de Tom y Heather en una auténtica pesadilla.
