A police officer and her partner hunt a vengeful ghost in a quiet town.

Sara Jensen enters the Ross Lake Police Department with high hopes but finds herself entangled in a deadly mystery.

A spirit uses the living as vessels for its wrath, complicating every step of the inquiry. The narrative examines how grief and anger can bind a soul to the earth. Carner constructs a plot where justice is elusive because the perpetrator exists beyond legal reach. The story relies on the tension between human law and supernatural retribution.
