In Gallup, New Mexico, a serial killer is operating unchecked, his targets indigent Native people whose murders are easily disguised as death by exposure on the frigid winter streets. He slips unnoticed through town, while the voices in his head guide him toward a terrifying vision of glory. As the Gallup detectives struggle to put the pieces together, they consider calling in a controversial specialist to help. Rita Todacheene, Albuquerque PD forensic photographer, is at a crisis point in her career. Her colleagues are watching her with suspicion after the recent revelation that she can see the ghosts of murder victims. Her unmanageable caseload is further complicated by the fact that half the department has blacklisted her for ratting out a corrupt fellow cop. Maybe it’s time for her to leave police work behind entirely --- if only the ghosts will let her.

Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. She’s been hiding a secret: she sees the ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. As a lone portal back to the living for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life. When she is sent to photograph the scene of a supposed suicide on a highway overpass, the furious, discombobulated ghost of the victim --- who insists she was murdered --- latches onto Rita, forcing her on a quest for revenge against her killers. Rita finds herself in the crosshairs of one of Albuquerque’s most dangerous cartels.
