An epidemic of child deaths plague the small city of Sheerbrook. Police investigators are beginning to doubt a serial killer is on the loose, and rather believe something more sinister lurks in the night. Something unexplainable by traditional methods of investigation.
Sierra Hexton is elated when she finds out her hero, Maya Malison Ph.D, has been recruited by those same authorities to help on the case. As a precocious “paranormal psychologist”, she passes a very unconventional test, and becomes Dr. Malison’s assistant.
Together, with the help of a local policeman, they untangle clues and discover the common source of trauma that affected all the children who’ve perished…..and the thing that’s behind it all.
