It isn't until a new girl is found dead that a Detective from Toronto is sent for to find this serial killer in their midst. Everyone thought she'd run away with a boy at the time and now people are remembering other girls who 'disappeared' in the past. ![]() Her 'gift' which she keeps secret even from her Grandmother tests her endurance when a former friend of hers' bones are found up on the mountain approximately four years old. Otherwise the only special thing about Dee is that she sees dead people. Fourteen year-old Dee has been raised by Grandmother as her own mother ran off with a travelling show when Dee was only a few months old, her father is unknown. The town does have a doctor, has for some years and business isn't what it used to be but some folks still would rather trade goods with Grandmother than pay cash to the doctor. Grandmother is the town's midwife and also the one people come to for "medicines" when they are sick.
