Select Preferred Format

Clare is alone in her school’s tunnel walkway when a famous teenage stage actor strides into sight – and promptly disappears! Caught in an avalanche of supernatural incidents, she soon discovers that the actor, Gavin Lai, has become invisible – and she is the only one who is able to see him.

Despite her reluctance and distaste for the handsome but self-absorbed actor, Clare teams up with him to get to the bottom of this strange predicament.

In Gavin’s absence, his rival has taken over his breakout role on stage. Does he have anything to do with Gavin’s disappearance? Or is there something supernatural about this former missionary school, with its hauntingly old colonial structures and its sinisterly omniscient clock tower?

The investigation now takes centre stage as Clare slowly breaks out of her shell, while Gavin’s past catches up with him. Has he been cursed into this nightmare because of what he has done?

In the midst of discovering the truth, they also discover themselves and each other. But is that enough to mend the rift in space and time?
