Jimmie Alfred is learning to dance his family's traditional regalia in his village in the Pacific northwest. Ngarra Nungurra is the guardian of sacred tjuringas on a remote island off the coast of northern Australia. When both are murdered, RCMP detective, Dan Connor, is sent to investigate, but there have been no sightings of strangers in these tightly knit communities, only reports of mysterious spirit beings.

Connor lives in a world of cold, hard facts. It's his friend, Walker, who is familiar with the world of spirits, but this time Walker can't help. With the death count rising, and the woman he loves threatened, can Connor rely on his own instincts to sort fact from fable?
