In the near future, humankind has mastered the arts of peace, tolerance, and acceptance. At least, that's what we claim. But then they arrive. Aliens--the last of a dead race. Suffering culture shock of the worst kind, they must take refuge on a world they cannot understand; one which cannot comprehend the scope of their loss. Taciturn Gwen Pierson and super-geek Basil Grey are Specialists for the Institute--an organization set up to help alien integration into our societies. They take in Kalp, a widower who escaped his dying world with nothing but his own life and the unfinished toy he was making for a child that will never be born. But on the aliens' world, family units come in threes, and when Kalp turns to them for comfort, they unintentionally, but happily, find themselves Kalp's lovers. And then aliens--and the Specialists who have been most accepting of them--start dying, picked off by assassins. The people of Earth, it seems, are not quite as tolerant as they proclaim.

Valeria gets pulled into a case that has resonated as a haunting on the California coast for over a hundred years. But what happens when the young subject who recites clues in her sleep begins to give details which encroach horrifically upon the life of the researcher herself? Valeria's romantic involvement with a professor who brings her into the case, further complicates her dealings as she begins to learn of her own hidden connection to the occult. The case brings the young researcher to a nexus of light and dark elements in the spiritual world. But in the process, she experiences a harrowing descent into the world of paranormal activity.
