Fallon Jones has found his perfect refuge in Scargill Cove, a remote northern California town where psychic energy runs strong and nobody questions his paranormal investigations. When Isabella Valdez arrives fleeing dangerous pursuers, she takes a job as his assistant and transforms his disorganized office into something functional. She accepts his psychic abilities without judgment, making her a rare ally in a world that sees his talents as mental illness. Their partnership works smoothly until a routine case leads them to an antique clock radiating malevolent energy. The discovery pulls them into Scargill Cove's hidden past and puts their lives at risk. As threats mount, they must navigate a deadly conspiracy that connects to both the Jones family business and Isabella's own ancestry.
