Instead of going to California with her family, Alison takes a summer internship solving cold cases at her local precinct, where Dr. Graciela Goncalves promises to teach her to control her Gift.

When those closest to her turn up as victims, can Alison put the pieces together and solve the puzzle before it’s too late?
Find out in this ‘magical adventure that intertwines romance and mystery’!
