Duma Key

Edgar er en hovedrig entreprenør i Minnesota. Da han kommer ud for en voldsom ulykke, hvori han mister den ene arm og får delvist hukommelsestab, vil hans kone, Pam, efterfølgende skilles fra ham. En psykiater giver Edgar det råd, at han skal flytte et andet sted hen, i al fald midlertidigt, og kaste sig ud i en eller anden hobby, som han har forsømt pga. sit arbejdsliv. Edgar lejer et hus på Duma Key, en lille ø ud for Floridas vestkyst. Både fysisk og psykisk kommer han langsomt i bedre form; desuden begynder han at tegne og male og opdager voldsomme kreative kræfter i sig. De eneste andre faste beboere på øen er den 85-årige ejer af den, Elizabeth, og hendes advokat Wireman, der bor sammen med hende efter at have mistet kone og datter. Edgar kommer i kontakt med dem og får et chok, da han opdager, at adskillige af hans værker er helt identiske med nogle i Elizabeths hus. Efterhånden opdager Edgar, at han har overnaturlige evner: Han kan ""se"" tidligere hændelser på øen, og hvad der snart sker med andre mennesker, både hans bekendte og folk, som han hører om på TV. Duma Key virker ved første blik som en idyllisk lille ø, men Edgar erfarer snart, at den gemmer på mange hemmeligheder.
