Having been brought up with her parents and grandmother on an isolated farm, she never realised how special she was until her grandmother showed her.
Discovering you have a special ability called The Touch that allows you to see into people's past and future changes her life forever. When she also discovers that the children with The Touch were being hunted by the government for this knowledge, Lacey's family tries to conceal her abilities so that she is never found.
