Carolina Sinclair is surrounded by shadows that crawl up walls and dead people looking for the door to the other side. When her childhood nemesis, Mallory Kramer, is murdered, the deceased former troublemaker shows up on Carolina's doorstep asking for help. Carolina's instinct is to turn Mallory away, but there's a problem. Mallory's killer isn't finished, and if Carolina doesn't help her, he'll likely kill again.
State Police Detective Nathan Claiborne gets pulled into a missing person investigation in the small town of Romance, Arkansas. When Carolina walks into the police station with suspicious-sounding tip credited to a ghost, she quickly becomes the prime suspect. But what if Carolina's right? With no other leads, Nathan finds himself relying on her clues in a case that could easily go cold.
Carolina's involvement in the case draws the killer's attention. In fact, he's zeroed in on her now, and it's all going well until ... the shadows come.
