The story begins with Kate’s life turning upside down after she accurately locates a missing boy during her coma. Her ability to see into the minds of others leaves her feeling alienated and prompts her to withdraw from her normal life, dropping out of college and living in seclusion with her mother.

Kate’s struggle with her unpredictable visions and her efforts to help Cori form the crux of the narrative.
As the story unfolds, important events include Kate’s initial resistance to using her abilities, her eventual decision to aid Jared, and the development of their relationship amidst the tension of the case. Kate’s journey is marked by her attempts to manage her visions and her interactions with various characters, including her supportive mother, Darlene. The climax of the story sees Kate and Jared working together to locate Cori, culminating in a resolution that challenges Kate to confront her past and embrace her psychic gift.
The novel combines elements of mystery, romance, and the paranormal, creating a compelling start to the series. Kate’s growth as a character and her evolving relationship with Jared are key themes, set against the backdrop of a suspenseful investigation.
