Set in a small, backwoods Pennsylvania town, rookie Kelsie Lee Ray is not a typical police officer. Blending humor and grit, she relies on her often curious analytical powers not only regarding the people and situations around her, but also in the workings of her own mind. This occasionally leads to unforeseen developments. Kelsie pursues a killer tormented by demons he doesn't even know he has. Leaving Aesop-type messages with each of the victims, he begins to believe in his own powers. A capacity he is convinced reaches beyond the species. The path to their eventual meeting is littered with the unexpected. Finally face to face, Kelsie finds the moral to the story isn't always what one would imagine.
