It's all photographer Jessa Bennett can do to understand the bizarre, unnatural world of speaking to dead ancestors that Maria believed in, but Maria has been missing for three years, and everyone assumes Mitch Conner has gotten away with murder. Hired by Maria's parents to find out why, Jessa clandestinely snoops in Mitch's historic home, Bristol House. She finds more questions than answers: what is the medallion key to the dead world; why does she keep feeling like her mornings are repeating; and why does the postcard of Bristol House keep changing? But mostly, why does Maria's ghost show up first in Jessa's camera, then in her dreams? What does Maria want? The ghosts of Bristol House come alive to draw Jessa into a world she didn't think existed outside of nightmares, and she uncovers a hundred and fifty year old secret in order to solve the mystery of the missing young woman.
