Historical
Jack Buchanan, a worker at the Jasper Mining Company, is
sure of his place in the outside world, but has lost his
faith in the tragedy of a fire. Foreign-born and raised,
Milena Shabanov flees from a home she loves to the strange
and barbaric America. A Romani blessed with “the sight,” she
is content in the company of visions and spirit oracles, but
finds herself isolated in a brutal mining town that has
little use for women. Surrounded by inhumane working
conditions at the mine, senseless death, and overwhelming
greed, miners begin disappearing. Tempers flare and Jack
must decide where he stands: with the officers and mining
president; with Victor Creely, to whom Jack owes his life;
or with the miners, whose lives are worth less to the
company than pack animals. Milena, sensing deep despair and
death in a mining town infested with restless spirits,
searches for answers to the workers’ disappearances. But she
cannot trust anyone, especially not Jack Buchanan, a man
haunted by his own past.
