“The division between good and evil is a thin grey line” –Steve Maddock

Julie Mahoney lives a fairly normal life in present day Kinglake, Australia. Recently she has discovered that she has been blessed (cursed???) with the gift of seeing and experiencing premonitions of the future. Though her knowledge is rather limited, she has discovered that these premonitions also offer the opportunity for her to change the future. She has also discovered that a little girl named Cassandra has been abducted and remains in great peril. So begins Julie’s quest for knowledge and to save Cassandra-at any cost. What is right and wrong will become blurred as complicated choices will have to be made in order to have any chance of saving the day. Meanwhile, 400 years earlier in Salem during the time of the witch trials Julie’s ancestor, Mary Murphy, is incarcerated, awaiting trial. She is accused of being a murderous witch. All hope seems to have evaporated in a town ruled by superstition and fear. She will have to play the game by their rules if she is to survive beyond this ordeal. The future of both women remains clouded as they search for solutions to the problems which engulf their lives.
