She knows right away that a part of her life, that as a mediator, isn’t going to change when she sees a ghost in her new bedroom. Furthermore, when she arrives at her new school the next morning, she sees another ghost and Fr. Dom knows she has the powers. But this ghost isn’t just “any” ghost. Her name is Heather and she committed suicide over Christmas break because her boyfriend broke up with her. She doesn’t intend to go to the “other side” until her ex-boyfriend is dead, but Suze has other plans for Heather....if she can make it in time!
