Hayley can see the past, present, future, and the dead. But her infatuation for Lee, her boss, is distracting her from something devastating. She realizes too late that she is losing her abilities. While she, Lee, and her fellow paranormal investigators are on a case taking them to a remote island in Micronesia, a chain of events she’s unable to shield herself against overwhelms her. Her mind becomes flooded with memories that aren’t her own. What are they trying to show her? Who’s the man who keeps reappearing in her vivid dreams? And why can’t she protect herself from being temporarily possessed? 

When she and the rest of the team reach the island where a Japanese World War II ghost ship had run aground, Hayley wonders if she still has the ability to speak to the dead, to solve the mystery of why the remains of Americans were found on board with no sign of the Japanese crew, and if she is able to discover who has created a portal, opening a door between dimensions, allowing the ship to create its own atmosphere, and repairs it rusted hull. 

Hayley is surprised to find that all the mysteries she’d experienced are linked and shocked to learn that she’s responsible.
