A psychological drama unfolds, weaving naivetE and guile, sensuality and pathos. The voice of the ghost Galena chronicles a young girl's life and her murder. High-spirited, full of grit and resolve, she came to Denver in the wake of the silver crash to pursue the good life. Ravishing hearts, untutoring minds, she haunts, avenging her death, set to return to life. Ashley, a contemporary professional facing life's changes, speaks of loneliness and her need to be relevant. Her consciousness becomes entwined with Galena's in an imagined bond where she finds solace. Ben, a construction worker with precognitive ability, bears witness to the strivings of the two women. Beset by a sense of futility, he finds himself yet struggling to appease both the living and the dead.
