James Golden has shared an extraordinary bond with her twin brother Johnny their entire lives. She feels his emotions as if they were her own. When Johnny dies in an accident, James knows he's gone before anyone calls to tell her. She travels to Hawthorne, California to handle his affairs and confront the past they both fled. There she must face Micah, the man who knows their secrets and the only person she has ever loved. As James settles deeper into Johnny's life, she discovers their psychic connection hasn't vanished with his death. She learns Johnny was hiding things from her, things that make her question everything she believed about him. Other people in Hawthorne are keeping secrets too. James begins investigating what happened in the days before Johnny died. She uncovers truths that force her to decide which revelations should see daylight and which should remain hidden forever.
