David Johnson, a young power-broker on Wall Street, thought he knew how to handle pressure and fear. After all, handling multi-million dollar accounts and being one of the most powerful men on "The Street" makes one tough. David Johnson could handle it all and was a master of the game. Life was good, if not perfect. And then, out of the past, like a most horrible nightmare, comes a power so debilitating, so total, that life would never be the same again...
And the terror doesn't stop there. A psychopath is loose, and on Wall Street, where the game is trading, he has cornered the market in fear. From Wall Street to the desolate, back woods of Maine, his spree of terror will not stop until the past has been cleansed and his appetite for mayhem and death has been sated. 'Downtick' is a tumbling ride of revenge, murder and terror like never before.
