Welcome to the Freak Show, the Extended Care Unit, with its sweet scent of carnations and lilies.  The too sweet smell of death and the beast that lives within.  At first, I was a bit confused as to where everything was leading and how the characters were going to come together.  Once it all starts to lock in place you can't stop.  The plot is truly inventive and riveting.  Dr. Eve Warden, the "Wicked Witch", tries to project the ECU as Never Neverland, where dreams come true due to her miracle drug Lucidine, but all is not what it seems.  Only a few young souls from the Peds unit know the truth and see past the facade.  Grace, whose life has been turned upside down since her husband's murder and being diagnosed with a brain tumor, is about to be transferred to the ECU when Kat and Alex from Peds hide her away to protect her.  Jimmy, Grace's husband now ghost, is my favorite character.  To have him so close but yet so far was heartbreaking.  Their fate lies in the hands of Vincent, the only Dr who seems to really want to help the young patients and is obsessed with finding Grace.  Events nobody can fathom were set in motion hundreds of years ago leaving everyone with choices to make, changing the path of destiny with each one.  Now everything is dependent on Grace, the ghost of her husband and the time-traveling Jesuit/Druid Priest to save a future they can't know about, free will is a fickle thing...the end was really good although not what I was expecting at all.
