A recurrent\, unidentifiable noise in her apartment. A memo to her boss that&rsquo\;s replaced by obscene insults. Amanda&mdash\;a successful architect in a happy marriage&mdash\;finds her life going off kilter by d egrees. She starts smoking again\, and one night for no reason\, without e ven the knowledge that she&rsquo\;s doing it\, she burns her husband with a cigarette. At night she dreams of a beautiful woman with pointed teeth o n the shore of a blood-red sea.
\nThe new voice in Amanda&rsquo\;s h ead\, the one that tells her to steal things and talk to strange men in ba rs\, is strange and frightening\, and Amanda struggles to wrest back contr ol of her life. A book on demon possession suggests that the figure on the shore could be the demon Naamah\, known to scholars of the Kabbalah as th e second wife of Adam\, who stole into his dreams and tricked him into fat hering her child. Whatever the case\, as the violence of her erratic behav ior increases\, Amanda knows that she must act to put her life right\, or see it destroyed.
