But "quiet" doesn't mean dull -- for Danforth Smith has returned from New York City to deal with family affairs, putting on hold his promising career as a film director, and Sabine feels an immediate connection to him. The psychic gift she inherited from her mother tells Sabine that Dan guards a painful secret, and soon her heart is as engaged as her empathy.

Then Ruby suddenly appears in Moose River Junction. She has never told her daughter why they moved so often, or from where they originally came -- but now she's finally ready to answer her daughter's lifelong questions about her past. And in typical dramatic fashion, Ruby also announces that Sabine will shortly be at a crossroad that determines her future. But which life-changing event does Ruby mean?
