So, when Wren vanishes unexpectedly, abandoning two young children and leaving her family desperate for answers, Birdie steps in to take her sister’s place…again. And this time, she’s not going to rescue Wren, no matter what. But soon, Birdie finds herself experiencing strange visitations in the night… Odd happenings in her home… Ghostly hints that her sister is trying to reach her from beyond the grave.
