Sabine Heartwood finally finds stability in the small town of Moose River Junction after years of constant movement with her mother, the fortune teller Madame Ruby. She builds a life in this quiet place, the first she has ever considered home. Then Danforth Smith arrives back in town, temporarily abandoning his career to handle family matters. Sabine falls for this man who plans to leave as soon as possible. Her situation grows more complex when Ruby reappears, ready to reveal long-hidden truths about their family history. Sabine begins experiencing visions of a tragedy that struck Dan's family three centuries earlier, connected to a painful secret that still haunts him. She must embrace the psychic abilities she inherited from her mother but has always rejected. Only by accepting her gift of sight can she uncover the truth and break the cycle that binds them both to the past.
