Cold Rock is a former mining town in Washington where the work has gone and the school has closed. Julia Denning is the town's nurse, widowed when her husband, the doctor, died. On her rounds she visits families, among them Jenny, a girl who has stopped speaking and carries a journal in which she draws what she has seen, including a figure the town calls the Tall Man. Children in Cold Rock disappear regularly and are never seen again, and the legend is blamed. Julia lives on the outskirts with her son David and his nanny. One night she wakes to a noise downstairs and finds the nanny bound and David gone from his bed.
