Declan travels to the small town of East Gilmore to investigate a mysterious legend of protective spirits. There, he discovers more than just an eerie tale of children's ghosts pushing stalled cars off railway tracks, but a town full of pain, unable to recover from a horrible tragedy.

Peggy and Declan find themselves at odds when Declan interferes with one of her patients - a schizophrenic who claims to be hearing voice of God. Peggy wants to put her on medication, but Declan suspects there may be more to this voice that's trying to communicate with her.
