Jenna Harris is an Air Force Meteorologist. Fleets of aircraft are dispatched based upon her data interpretations. It is important for her to perform at the top of her game, but she can't seem to get back there. Her commanding officer is threatening a general discharge, but has decided upon a medical leave of absence to give her time to try to get her life back together.
Jenna is plagued by flashbacks from the day her son drowned in Carlyle Lake. The visions are random, life-like, and paralyzing. There he is, face up in the eddy, just beyond her reach, swirling around in the water. And then he's gone. Over and over she hears him whisper, "I'll wait for you, Mommy!"
She remembers endlessly scouring the banks. Emotions resurface as she relives overturning every rock, wading through every weed and backwater, and snorkeling what seems like every inch of the lake. What has she missed? Where is he?
Feeling as if she is going mad, Jenna confides in Ivy, a long-time friend with no ties to the military. To her surprise, she is referred to a Phoenix clinic to meet the Brain Stormers. The clinic is known to everyday heroes as a place to heal spiritually and emotionally. Veterans, active duty military and first responders are able to get help fully reintegrating into the lives they lived before suffering trauma. With nothing but time on her hands, Jenna decides to make the journey. Who and what will she encounter there?
There is no one like Maura anywhere else in the world, at least that Bella knows of. She can touch a person's arm and clearly see the troubling idea that holds them back. With the help of her deceased grandmother's thought transfer technology, Bella will substitute for Maura in clinic today.
With the help of the experimental bands, Bella identifies the thought that Jenna cannot reconcile. But an unanticipated side-effect of the technology is that Jenna can also see into Bella. Their impressions forge an undeniable bond that catapults them into the adventure of a lifetime, one they will not undertake alone.
Maddie is Bella's oldest granddaughter, next in the bloodline to inherit the gift. Her telepathic abilities allow her to communicate with her grandmother and others like her. Only four years old, it is difficult for the young psychic to distinguish some of the voices she continuously hears. She has no filters and feels no fear.
When the mastermind group discovers that Tanner has been talking to Maddie telepathically, they decide to help Jenna find out what happened to her son. They believe that he could actually still be alive. Their research leads them into uncharted waters.
Will what began as a mission to recover a body turn into an unprecedented rescue attempt? How would their success impact beliefs about what's happening in the invisible? Are the Brain Stormers willing to risk it all? Is the world ready to accept the truth about Tanner? Are the inhabitants of Hidden Harbor ready for what comes next?
