Taking their hands, she kills them with an invisible, painless power, but not before traveling with them to the other side. The payoff? On her journey to the afterlife with her companion, she can see.Loreena’s uncle believes her power is a gift from God, but when Loreena’s troubled brother returns to town, she saves his life by killing a drug dealer who isn''t ill at all.
