Early autumn brings forth a burst of color before the earth
lies dormant awaiting the rebirth of spring. It's also the
time of spirits. Emerald O'Brien, shop owner and psychic,
shares a real kinship with this time of year. Not only is
her birthday on Halloween, but she has the ability to see
and communicate with those within the spirit world. And
it's this ability that sends chills down her spine while
helping her boyfriend, Joe, clear the brambles and thorns
from the vacant lot he just purchased next door to
Emerald's house.
Discovering what looks to be the remains of a foundation,
they uncover a basement that's been hidden for over 50
years. Emerald begins to have disturbing dreams and
visions, which in many ways is normal for her, but the fact
that the source is next door is too close for comfort.
Among her visions is that of Samantha, their missing cat.
There seems to be an unspoken message from the cat that
Emerald is having difficulty understanding.
Emerald recruits friends both living and in the beyond to
help her solve the mystery next door and that of the
missing cat. The basement reveals a hidden room with a
journal, a photograph and a beautiful mural. Then a grave
is located under a tree. Whom do the remains belong to? The
answers to the mysteries come from an unlikely source.
