Little by little, Jeff Shields world is transforming from routine to bizarre. Strangers are recognizing him. His house is being invaded. But the perpetrator whoever or whatever it is leaves no signs of entry and clearly isnt a run-of-the-mill robber. Jeff hasnt been harmed, but knows its only a matter of time unless he uncovers the root of the quirky happenings. Meanwhile, Jessica French is seamlessly easing back into regular life after a 14-month disappearance. She claims she had moved to Virginia and did a poor job of keeping in contact, but close friend Renee Hillman sees through the farce. Renee makes it her personal mission to uncover the puzzling secret of Jessicas year-plus hiatus. Although Jeff lives in Colorado and Jessica in Southern California, their stories have a similar, mysteriously disturbing connection. Soon, both experience a plight few on earth have been forced to endure in Displaced.
