Valley Of The Shadow
When the young son of a prominent local businessman is kidnapped, Walt asks Johnny to help with the investigation into the boy’s disappearance. However, upon visiting the scene of the crime, Johnny’s visions fail him - in fact, as he tells Walt, he hasn’t had a vision for a number of weeks. It soon becomes clear though that the boy’s safety may depend on Johnny’s visions. The kidnapper seems to have a fascination with Johnny and his powers, and has been leaving a trail of clues specifically for Johnny to follow. As if Johnny doesn’t feel guilty enough because of this, he soon finds himself accused by others of putting the kidnapped child’s life in danger. Thankfully, Johnny’s visions return to him when really needed - but will he be in time to stop the kidnapper?

However, not only do they find themselves in danger from the still unstable foundations of the mine, but Johnny himself appears to have been targeted by the vengeful spirits of miners who died in the mine many years ago. Johnny’s visions allow him to see that the teenagers are still alive - but can he and Walt find them without sacrificing their own lives in the process?
