Ten years ago, teenage clairvoyant Rebecca Ryan helped the local police solve a number of high-profile cases. But when her younger brother Jonnie was kidnapped and later found murdered, Rebecca was mysteriously unable to provide any information.

After making a fresh start in New Orleans, Rebecca thinks she's finally come to terms with what happened. But when she hears that her cousin's son has been kidnapped, and that he was the same age as Jonnie, Rebecca is determined to use her second sight to help him, despite the pain it causes her.

Back in her hometown, it's clear that many of Rebecca's old 'friends' and neighbours, and even some members of her own family, have never forgiven her for failing to help Jonnie all those years ago. And someone is determined to ensure that the Ryan family will once again pay a deadly ransom.
