Romance, mystery and an encounter with the demons of both this world and the ancient past await attorney Nate Nakai in the heart of the Southwest, Santa Fe, New Mexico. His mind-numbing vision of the vicious attack on a young girl could have led the Public Defender to a would-be killer. But when Nate is assigned to defend Johnny Begay, a Navajo teenager, he realizes his psychic connection is with the victim. And begins to discover his newfound ability connects him to events in a centuries old drama and a reincarnated evil. When Johnny's sister, Mary Summernight, becomes involved in the case, Nate is quickly drawn to the beautiful and mysterious artist. He soon finds the young widow is not only haunted by the past and hell-bent on proving her brother's innocence, but has a dark secret that ties her to the self-righteous and dangerous District Attorney. When Mary joins forces with Nate, sparks ignite and she struggles between her attraction to Nate and the ghosts of her heart. But an ancient bond may be stronger than both of them. Will their search for the real killer clear or incriminate Johnny? And will finding the truth and exhuming the past cost them their lives at the hands of a madman, who has returned from the spirit world in search of revenge.
