Tuttavia, a questo caso non era preparata: la stanza numero 7 è satura di terrore, la paziente rannicchiata ai suoi piedi è stata picchiata, seviziata. È chiusa in se stessa, mugola parole senza senso. Dice che l’Uomo Nero la sta cercando. La sua voce è raccapricciante, è la voce di una bambina in un corpo di donna: le sussurra che adesso prenderà anche lei, Ellen, perché nessuno può sfuggire all’Uomo Nero. E quando il giorno dopo la paziente scompare dall’ospedale senza lasciare traccia, per Ellen incomincia l’incubo. Nessuno l’ha vista uscire, nessuno l’aveva vista entrare. Ellen la vuole rintracciare a tutti i costi ma viene coinvolta in un macabro gioco da cui non sa come uscire. Chi è quella donna? Cosa le è successo? E chi è veramente l’Uomo Nero? Ellen non può far altro che tentare di mettere insieme le tessere di un puzzle diabolico, mentre precipita in un abisso di violenza, paranoia e angoscia.
