Reluctant psychic Claire Scanlan perceives spirits and strange energies that no one else can detect. At a preservation group’s fundraiser to save a grand San Francisco Victorian, Claire encounters a mysterious young woman, Roxane, who is invisible to everyone but her. Roxane flees into what she calls the Future House when she needs to escape the most brutal of the men who buy her favors. When the leader of the preservation group is murdered, Roxane is the only witness. Terrified, she returns to her own time and enlists the only true gentleman she has ever met to help her find justice for the victim. The prime suspect is Claire’s brother-in-law, Peter, who is having an affair with one of the mansion’s owners. To find Roxane and clear Peter’s name, Claire must risk venturing into a past century --- a perilous journey from which she may never return.
