Officer Barret Whitestone loves the small town of Hidden Falls. After all, he grew up there. He takes his job of protecting the people seriously, and so when a case brings him to Touched, he's sure he has just met the biggest fraud and charlatan in town. With a murder case to solve, he doesn't have time to waste with someone he's sure is taking advantage of a grieving family.

Adam is a psychometric—a person who has the rare ability to sense an object's history through touch. But unlike most others with his gift, he can't turn the ability off. He's used to people not believing him, but when it comes to murder, he knows he can help identify a killer.

With pressure from the town, Barret humors Adam. At first, he's convinced he's wasting time and energy, but when what Adam tells him starts to match with the evidence, he can't help but believe there may be something to Adam's ability.

Forced to put their differences aside, the two slowly piece together what happened to a missing woman. Navigating through a confusing case while searching for evidence that can be used in court, they're both determined to bring a killer to justice and learn to trust each other along the way.
