It's all in his mind....that's what he tells himself every time he has a vision... until one hurts him.

Seventeen-year-old Riley Carter cannot tell his mom about the strange visions he's been having since his dad and baby brother died in a fire. Psychics aren't real; they're just cons who prey on the bereaved.

But the visions are getting worse. More dangerous. Impossible to control. And when one injures him, Riley knows he needs help. The only help available comes from Jasmine Gregory, the town's newest sidewalk psychic.

She knows your feelings...even the ones you think you're hiding...

But Jasmine's different. Instead of taking money, she offers her help. She seems to know exactly what Riley's feeling - even when he's not entirely sure himself. When she tells him his dad is haunting him, Riley doesn't want to hear it. But as the visions worsen, the message Riley's dad is trying to send becomes clear:

The fire that killed him was no accident.

And whoever was behind it is getting ready to kill again.
