With little money and on the brink of losing her beloved home, thirty-five year old medium Elvira Monk could use a little ray of sunshine. As she drives home after a long day, with a heavy heart, she discovers that her childhood best friend has returned to town. Drea Cahill offers her a case involving Drea's family home, which has been vacant since 1972. The distraction is most welcomed.

But after finding the body of one of Drea's acquaintances in the house, they're drawn into a race against time. If they don't solve the mystery of Brennan Manor quickly, it could spell Drea's death. For whoever holds the deed to the house is also tied to the Dark beast within it.
