Pressed against the glass was the grotesque animal face she had seen in her dreams: black, triangular, with shining green pinpoints of light for eyes, a pink mouth open in a silent snarl...

Rachel Chater is a young American alone with her infant child in a secluded house in the rugged English countryside. Her English husband, Bill, has temporarily abandoned her for a writing assignment in Hollywood, and she has limited mobility because of injuries suffered in a recent car crash. Rachel's only contacts with the world come through the moody teenaged girl who helps during the day with the house and baby, and through a pair of seemingly sympathetic but distant neighbors. Living in this kind of isolation, her days and nights mingle into an unending maelstrom of terror as she begins to see a horrible face peering at her through the window. And to hear a tapping. Strange and menacing phone calls make her blood run cold with fear. Someone or something is seeking to kill her. Someone or something has tried to smother her baby. Someone or something has poisoned her dog. Someone or something that has taken the form of a monstrous black feral cat watching Rachel's every move, following her like a malignant shadow, is waiting its chance to spring and strike.
