Description: Alison Hart is a medium by trade and has the ability to communicate with spirits, but she feels this is a torment instead of a gift. She knows that the next life holds terrors that she must conceal from her clients, her days and nights are haunted by the men she knew in her childhood, the thugs and petty criminals who preyed upon her hopeless, addled mother Emmie. The more she tries to get rid of them, the stronger and naster they become.
