The first anomaly

A voice she knows.
A recording she can't explain.

The evidence is clear. What it means is not.

Nora Mercer has spent years asking what a ghost story can actually prove. Then a voice she knows appears in a recording where it should not exist. With audio engineer Nick Reyes, she follows the evidence into an investigation that may have crossed from the explainable into the impossible.
