Amethyst Keane lives a lonely existence. Growing up her mother moved them around so many times she gave up on having a normal life, and friends. She threw herself into her school work and started publishing a magazine at the age of seventeen. Almost three years later she's completely independent and as lonesome as ever.

On an assignment for her magazine she visits a small coastal town. While there she meets a boy and for the first time she feels as if she might not have to live a solitary life. As she explores the town's legendary ghost she also uncovers secrets and lies regarding her family, and maybe, she has more in common with the spirit haunting Ghost Peak Island than she would have ever believed.
