Isolated in an unfamiliar town and desperate for solid ground, Anna finds herself drawn to Zack, the charming boy next door, even as nagging doubts whisper that he might be hiding something sinister. As strange supernatural sensations pull her toward the murder site, Anna begins to wonder if her family's "crazy" gifts are actually her greatest asset, and she's forced to navigate a dangerous maze of secrets, suspicion, and hidden motives. This gripping mystery will keep you guessing about who you can trust while exploring what it means to embrace the uncanny gifts you've always feared.
