When rookie mortician Mara Quinn hears a dead man whisper her name, she thinks it's a hallucination. But when a second body leaves a hidden message meant only for her, the truth starts bleeding through.
What happened to Mara at Eastburn Children's Home was buried-by officials, by doctors, and worst of all, by Mara herself. But now the dead are speaking, and they want her to remember.
As Mara digs into decades of corruption and memory experiments, she uncovers a dark legacy of missing children, mind control, and psychological warfare. She wasn't just a survivor.
She was the key.
Now the ghosts of her past are rising.
And they won't rest until she finishes what they started.
