Becky Reynalds is a girl with otherworldly powers she doesn't want. Having survived a car accident in which all her friends are killed, Becky has been "gifted" with the ability to hear spirits, a gift that brings with it the power to divine other people's feelings and innermost secrets, whether she wants those secrets or not. Recruited to Waltham Academy for Psychic Sensitives in Northwest England, Becky meets three hauntingly familiar girls with unique psychic talents, only to discover that their meeting is no accident.
