In a mansion high above the sea at Laguna Beach, Ashton Ford finds himself surrounded by flesh and blood "ghosts" of people from the past. In the baffling confusion of space and time, Ford's keen and awesome psychic talents must now pierce the secret of the house; while his heart, at the mercy of an ageless and beautiful sculptress, follows a dangerous path of its own.
