Moving to Soda Creek, a former gold rush boomtown in the Cariboo region of the B.C. interior, Kelly Linden and her father try to begin their lives again after a tragic family accident. Kelly is startled and disturbed when she sees the pale ghost of a little girl standing before her with hands outstretched. She is not the only one "hallucinating." David, a university student staying at a local commune, also claims to have seen the apparition. As the story moves into stranger and stranger territory, Kelly and David are drawn together. The other residents of the town also become involved in helping the ghost who seems to be appealing for help to escape her non-human state. As Kelly searches for the truth she also discovers new feelings and the thrill of love.
