Tracey Farrand is a troubled young woman who thinks she is either possessed of extraordinary ESP--or else she is mad. Seeking a place to rest and sort out her life, Tracey makes her way to the remote and atmospheric small town of Placer's Bend high in the High Sierra mountains. But all too soon Tracey discovers that this mountain retreat is a "psychic hot zone" containing a romantic ghost, a supernatural predator, and an ancient, inhuman, savagely compelling entity--all three of whom have their sights set on Tracey.
