In the winter of 1929 on the California coast, Frank's Roadhouse and the beach below is the scene of untimely love, desperate moments, betrayal, crime and the death of nine people, murdered for reasons Icarus Huxley, paranormal therapist, and his assistant, Sarah McDonald, are hired to discover. The roadhouse, now a seaside restaurant, is haunted by the spirits of the dead from that night, still anxious, still seeking their deserved rest and still bitter to have lost their mortality by the avarice of a sinlge man. The Blue Lady was that man's wife. Johnny Fagan, the piano player, fell hopelessly in love with her. Paddy Reed, the brutal husband, is the west coast purveyor of illicit liquor and brutal crime boss of an empire that comes apart at the seams of a desperate triange in competition for the Blue Lady. Unknown to Huxley, and only by the utter psychological shock to Sarah, she withdraws into a coma in which she begins to understand her personal ties to the Blue Lady. Huxley follows the clues to discover Sarah's family background and how it relates to the desperate struggle of nine people whose violent end reaches out to Sarah from the distant past on the darkest evening of the year.
