Millions of viewers know twenty-four-year-old Elise Weston
as the Skeptic, a renowned paranormal investigator who won’t give up until
she’s discredited every myth and legend about the supernatural. The only
problem is it’s all a lie, the paranormal world does exist and Elise knows it
because she’s a medium and can connect with the dead.
Elise never wanted to be the Skeptic, or a fraud for that
matter, in fact she started her investigations by calling out money hungry fake
psychics. But it didn’t take long for her best intentions to go askew and turn
her into the very thing she was against, someone who lies and fabricates
evidence to get the results she wants.
Dakota is a paranormal investigator who not only works
alongside Elise but loves her too, but he knows she has secrets, ones that keep
her up late and night, and every time he gets close to finding out what those
secrets are she pushes him away.
But when a powerful Wiccan witch named Tansy somehow figures
out Elise’s ability and blackmails her into admitting to the world that she’s a
liar and a cheat, Elise confesses everything to the only person she can trust,
Dakota. With Dakota by her side and bound to undo her mistakes, Elise decides
to quit the show but that’s when her life goes from bad to worse. Because the
truth is, Tansy doesn’t really care about the show at all, it’s vengeance for
the death of her sister she’s after, a death that she’s certain Elise had
something to do with. And since Tansy is old school and believes in the an eye
for an eye mantra, she won’t stop until Elise is dead too.
