Janelle Brighton is a psychic at a crossroads. After 15 lonely years on the run, she’s taking a vacation in the sunny south. Spending time with her beloved gran and the cute local police chief is exactly what she needs while pondering her next move.
The peace ends when a local jewelry store heist leaves Janelle on the hook for murder. Someone is determined to stop this overrated, undertrained psychic from going home to face the ghosts of her past.
Luckily, the ghost of her present—a cocky, chatty dachshund named Mr. Bixby—holds the key to the mystery. Can this dog and Janelle rescue each other in time to become a match for magical threats to come?
