Reba's childhood memories are full of nightmares and visions that she struggled to understand, and she is isolated and lonely. Raised by a cold, damaged mother and a grandfather with secrets of his own, she was often frightened and confused as she discovers her special 'gift'. Reba never knew the father who disappeared before she was born, and she can only sense the secrets that surround her.
The adult Reba has to contend with visions that are not always welcome, and after one episode in which she sees a vision of a missing boy, her life gradually spirals out of control as she is pursued by a mysterious group called The Authority, whose leader is convinced she holds information that her psychic powers could lead them to a fortune in looted Nazi gold. Meanwhile, Reba has to come to terms with a family history that starts in the concentration camps of Europe and a terrible crime.
