Hiding from Eddie relates a tale centered around the pivotal moment in Roger West's life. That event took place on August 12th, 1967 at 2:12 a.m. Years later, in October 2001, Roger is given an opportunity to change that moment. His enigmatic martial arts' teacher guides him beyond physical training and into The Cold Void, a place where Roger's past is not written in stone.
When his wife is viciously attacked on the street, Roger tries to reshape events in an attempt to save her. But, before he can, he must go back further to save himself and face the worst demon of his childhood: Eddie.
It seems innocent enough for an eight-year-old, sleeping out with friends in a neighbor's backyard, to creep home at 2:00 a.m. on an August night in 1967 to make a sandwich. The consequences of entering the house unexpectedly that particular night prove to have nearly destroyed young Roger. He faces a devastating confrontation and the mystery of a dog whimpering in the bathroom, a dog that had disappeared the previous winter.
As the night unfolds, Roger finds the inner strength to at last face Eddie in an attempt to save his family.
Armed with new courage, Roger goes back to deal with the attack on his wife. Hindered by wounds from his battle in the past, he hurries to save her. In attempting to do so, he's forced to come to grips with a shocking revelation.
