A San Francisco architect with hidden paranormal powers is having a turbulent affair with an arrogant, married real estate mogul. A mirror image of a siren ancestor who instigated a deadly family curse in 1900, Marlena becomes a target for a latter-day witch-hunt in the remote, ghost-haunted village of Alta, Wyoming. Enter an unplanned pregnancy and a budding romance with an old flame. The need for decision mounts to a feverish, darkly comic climax at the Christmas Fire Night Ball, an evening of traditional bonfires, natural cataclysm, death, and attempted murder.
