Eli and his parents have returned to their ancestral home in a small mountain town to escape their hectic city lives, where young Eli finds himself answering for the mistakes of the house’s first owner, his great-great grandfather Elijah Mountain. Both Eli and Amy, the enigmatic Ktunaxa girl next door, have a foot in multiple worlds, and they relive and account for their past lives of seduction and betrayal. A new kind of ghost story, In Case I Go is about the many ways we’re haunted by the misdeeds of our ancestors.
