Years ago, murder struck Wilton, Maine, when Katie Sanford's husband was convicted of killing Jenny Robbins, wife of Chief of Police Jake Robbins, then died himself in prison.

Memories are long in Wilton, and it's been difficult to keep the tragedy in the past, particularly in the wake of a hurricane which has wreaked havoc on the quiet town. Since its founding, Wilton has had a tradition of creating a time capsule every fifty years, and the storm unearthed the most recent capsule. As the editor of the local paper, Katie joins Chief Robbins to supervise its opening. Neither of them is prepared for the macabre set of predictions, dating back to months before Jenny's murder, that they find inside--someone predicted her death, as well as eleven other tragedies, which are still occurring even after the death of Katie's husband.

Suddenly, Katie has reason to hope that her husband might not have been guilty of Jenny's murder after all. But as she and Chief Robbins race to stop the next predictions from coming true, they find themselves caught in a terrifying mind game with no rules...and life or death consequences.
