August Colbert talks to dead people. They’ve walked through her dreams since she was a child, but she’s devastated when she continues to have the same recurring dream. A child’s dirty, blood-crusted hand reaching for her, his pleading whispers for help digging into her heart and bringing back painful memories. She believes that it’s similar to one she’s had before, considering it’s happening the week before the three year anniversary of when her husband and child were killed in an accident. When she realizes it’s not her son reaching out, August knows a child will die if she doesn’t find him and she’ll have to trust the one man that destroyed her life, her family, and her heart.
Although Levi Overton was raised by his Native American grandmother, he’s never believed in mysticism or superstitions. But he can’t run from his dreams and is haunted by the image of a young, desperate woman pleading for his help. Unable to handle his self-medicating with alcohol, his wife divorces him and takes their son as far away from his descent into depression as she can get. With his job hanging precariously by a thread, the last thing he needs is something else to go wrong that could give the city manager, his ex-brother-in-law, a legitimate reason to fire him. But Levi’s willing to risk it all when August comes to him with another one of her dreams. This time he won’t let her down. Even if it kills him.
