'The dead hour; that's when there were more dead roaming the earth than there were blades of grass.' The problem lies with the living coming to terms with the passing of the dead. Louise still grieves inwardly for her little brother, Ben, after a year. Rich's Nan is close to death. Both teenagers find themselves trapped in their imaginations and creating spirit manifestations that seem to terrorise, but once the haunted pair manage to find understanding the same spirits have the power to heal the deepest wounds. An intriguing ghost tale that oughtn't to remain too long on the shelves.
