Adam Brandt is a forensic psychologist, used to dealing with the most damaged members of society.

But he's never met anyone like Kassie.

The teenager claims to have a terrible gift. With just one look, she can foresee when and how you will die.

Adam knows Kassie must be insane. But a serial killer is terrorising the city. And only Kassie seems to know who his next victim will be.

Against all his intuition, Adam starts to believe her.

But he doesn't realise how deadly his faith might prove...

Strikingly well-told, and with a compelling central character, it has the feel of a television drama
