Brianna Davis has always seen herself as an ordinary girl. That all changes when she and her friends venture into the Smith house, a place full of spirits that are rumored to be unfriendly. In reality, the spirits that haunt the old manor are bitter and vengeful that no one saved their lives in a fire that destroyed their home, centuries ago. And the new target of this vengeance? Brianna and her friends.

The tragic loss that is the consequence of this encounter tears Brianna's perfect world away from her, and she doesn't know how she'll recover. While at her most vulnerable, she meets two teenagers, Isabel and Darek, who lead Brianna to the world of 'Spirit Hunters', people with angelic genetics, whose skills allow them to trap evil spirits. Though fascinated with this new world, she is shocked to learn she gave up her right to leave the moment she entered it. Why? Brianna is a born spirit hunter.

But Brianna is far from safe in this new world. The spirits that took her loved one aren't done with her yet, and they fill her head each night with violent, horrifying nightmares. Brianna thinks her recent nightmares are a scare tactic, or an echo of her recent trauma, but the truth is far more sinister...
