The biggest shock comes when Sophy and Luke find out that her aunt and his uncle have been having an affair for quite a while and are now both missing.
A distrustful truce between them sends them in search of their family member and, in the process protecting a long buried but very dangerous secret. A secret that would put everyone in the paranormal world at risk.
