Jerry Leary cries himself to sleep beside his daughter's deathbed. When he awakens, the bed is empty. Jessie's body is gone. In the doorway behind him, a child whispers, "Wake up, Daddy. Someone needs you." Jerry takes the first step of a miraculous journey. Suzy Reily, a homeless woman, mumbles to herself, while her seven-year-old daughter, Jezzie, scavenges the alleys for their next meal. Nothing sustains them but memories and ashes. Sara Peters, a woman with multiple personality syndrome, recounts a childhood tale of poverty and incest. But on the streets, Sara witnesses a ghost of her past -- a ghost that will stir her inner voices to violence. Jerry's, Suzy's, and Sara's pasts are irrevocably intertwined, as are their futures. Only with the help of two children -- one alive and one in the spirit world -- can they survive their destinies, and salvage their souls.
