Eleven-year-old Emily's nightmares of drowning lead her to an injured dog near her family's coastal Maine home, and as she nurses him back to health, she becomes aware that they have a strange psychic connection.
Using their telepathic bond to help others in need, Emily and her rescued dog, Zack, are shocked to discover their shared ability to see ghosts before deciding to assist a troubled spirit that is doomed to haunt the town unless they can save a troubled person.
