"Fairbanks, Alaska is a city filled with colorful characters and I was one of them. Since I was a teenager, I've seen spirits and ghosts walking among us. There's a lot more of them than you might think." A young woman reaches out from beyond the grave, and a reluctant clairvoyant, Allysen Coles, answers her pleas to solve a decades-old murder. With the help of her friends—a spiritually magnetic computer programmer and a hockey-playing priest—Allysen uncovers something far more sinister than murder. In the long, dark winter of Fairbanks, things aren't always what they seem.
