  • "A murderer is targeting random people around Toronto. In each case the victim's dismembered body is found in a place associated with sand, a lake shore, a sandpit, a building site."
  • "Single father and failed novelist, Patrick Rush, joins a creative writing circle where members meet and read to each other their own dark tales. But fantasy and reality become blurred when a serial murderer begins stalking the city and after one group member tells an unsettling story about an elusive child stealer called the Sandman, Patrick's own son is abducted leaving him no choice but to track down the killer himself."
  • "Struggling journalist Patrick Rush, still mourning the death of his wife and trying to raise his young son alone, tries to get his life back on track by joining a creative writing circle, but he begins to lose his grip on reality when he becomes mesmerized by a story written by one of the group's members about a child stealer called the Sandman, and the situation becomes dire when his own son is snatched by a killer stalking Toronto."
  • "Patrick Rush joins a writers group. His goal: to write the book hes always felt lived within him. Trouble is, Patrick has no story to tell. And the circles members show similarly little literary promise - except Angela. Her readings tell of an unremitting fear of the Sandman. Its the stuff of nightmares or horror films. Or is it? Over the weeks that follow, a string of unsolved murders seem increasingly connected to Patrick. And then the circles members start to go missing, one by one."
