When Michael is uprooted to Belfast, he isn't just hoping for a fresh start. He's determined to discover the truth about his dad's mysterious absence. But from the moment he arrives, he's plagued with visions of the city's troubled past.
Michael begins settling into his new life and even meets a boy who helps erase the painful memories of his ex. But as the visions grow stronger and more intense, the only person he can really confide in is his new friend Meg.
As Meg delves into the supernatural source of the visions, Michael begins to question whether events of the past are linked to his dad's disappearance.
Can he use his powers to find his dad before he's gone forever?
