Elaine Brinsfield is an independent, attractive young woman who loves her job as a day care teacher. To her vivacious roommate and her co-workers, the only thing missing in Elaine's life is a good man. That man seems to be Ken Lammerson, the handsome police officer who comes to Elaine's rescue and is immediately attracted to her.

The victim of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather, Elaine can't bear the thought of being touched by a man. The coping mechanism of astral projecting she used as a child return unbidden, accompanied by the threatening appearance of evil spectral beings. The gift--or curse--of astral projection enables Elaine to solve a vicious murder, but skeptical cops make her the number one suspect.
