When Ren was only 12 years old, she lost her older brother, Scott, to a car accident. Since then, Scott has been a presence in her life, appearing with a snatch of a song or a reflection in the moonlight.

On the cusp of the most important discovery of her career, it is ghosts who are guiding her way.
