When twelve-year-old Joseph Coyne disappears and is assumed to have been abducted, Detective Parker makes a promise to the boy's mother: We'll get him back, alive. It proves to be a promise that Parker cannot keep. When another young boy goes missing under similar circumstances, the evidence leads Parker to an aviary - or bird yard - attached to an abandoned house. The finches imprisoned in the aviary exert a magical appeal for the young boys who surreptitiously come to watch them, but their owner is a shadowy figure whose hold over his young visitors seems far more sinister. Convinced that the killer is now stalking a boy he knows, Parker enlists the help of a child psychologist to unravel a dark secret.
