Two estranged sisters must use their paranormal gifts to prove themselves innocent when a college student goes missing.
Having escaped her dysfunctional past, Jess has been quietly enjoying her normal college experience. But all that changed the ni...
'She ended up in a mental hospital,' snapped Jess before the dawning realisation crashed into her. 'You said this happened to Mom?'
Ash couldn't look at her sister. 'She had the same gift as you.'
'Gift? You call this a gift.'
'You're a medium, Jess.'
'And what the fuck does that mean?'
'It means you can see ghosts.'
But Jess started shaking her head. 'That's not possible.'
Ash laughed once, though there was nothing remotely funny about the situation. 'Then how do you explain what you just saw? It wasn't the wind that just scared you shitless.'
Jess fingered the necklace her sister gave her. 'You knew this would happen.'
'I suspected it. The women in our family come into their gift around their 21st birthday.'
'So that's why you're here? That's why you were so set on being here for my 21st.' Jess glared at her sister.
'I planned to check in on you. But you getting arrested was never on my plan. Though, as it turns out, it was a good thing. I didn't expect your gift to kick in so soon,' admitted Ash.
'But you saw the ghosts too.'
Ash shook her head, watching her sister's face fall. 'I can sense them, but I can't see them like you. I'm psychic, Jesse.'
'So all those readings...'
'All true. It's not an exact science, but I'm perceptive to people's energy. It lets me see their past, present and future.'
'And Nana?'
'A similar variation on what I can do without the visions. She could sense when people were lying. It's what made her such a card shark.'
'Where did it all start?' Jess asked in a small voice.
'No one's really sure. Nana's Nana told her that our family was given these gifts as payment.'
'Payment for what?'
'One day our ancestor woke up completely blind. Her family and most of the community shunned her. All except the travelling people. She befriended one of their children and one day saved his life. As a reward, the travelling people wanted to give her a gift, but all the little girl wanted was her sight. The next day she could see though she was still blind.'
'She could see like you?'
'And you. Both of us have the gift of sight. Able to see things that others can't. Variations of the gift have been passed to every woman in our family.'
