The novel begins in current-day Vermont, where an old man's plan to sell a piece of land sparks protest from the local Abenaki Indian tribe, who insist it is an ancient burial ground. When supernatural events plague the town of Comtosook, a ghost hunter named Ross Wakeman is hired by the developer to investigate and disprove the spiritual claims. Ross is a suicidal drifter who has been searching for the ghost of his fiancée, who died eight years earlier. In Comtosook, Ross encounters Lia Beaumont, a skittish, mysterious woman who is also searching for something beyond the boundary between life and death. The story unfolds as an intricate tale of love, fate, and a crime of passion, delving into an eerie murder mystery and touching upon a virtually unknown chapter of American history: Vermont's eugenics project of the 1920s and 30s. The central question is whether we love across time, or in spite of it.
