Ceara Fennessy leads an ordinary life. She is on the fast track in her job as a college professor who specializes in understanding crime and has little patience for or interest in non-scientific explanations of the world. She knows exactly who she is and where she's going. Unfortunately for Ceara, when an unknown gunman leaves her for dead one night, she learns how quickly our lives and our perceptions can change. Ceara wakes from a coma to discover that while her injuries will heal, she sees and hears people that no one else can see. As she recovers, she turns to medical science for an answer to the disturbing hallucinations and odd disruptions in her life. However, when medication fails to work she is forced to accept several new realities. Science cannot explain everything. People can be haunted. And everyone has secrets.

Harvey, the ghost of a murdered accountant is demanding that she solve his murder. Nora, the ghost of a young woman from another era, insists that they are sisters of the soul, bound to be together in every incarnation for eternity. And someone wants her dead. As she struggles to come to terms with her new reality and help the ghosts in her life move on, the clock is ticking. It is kill or be killed and her time is running out.
