Love vintage clothes? What would you do if every time you picked up a fabulous cape or beautiful dress, your mind was transported to the last time it was worn? Maddie loves the clothes but the visions are getting to be a bit much. When Paisley Skye comes into the shop, she’s vintage all the way. Her 70s outfits are to die for—and if Maddie can’t help Paisley figure out her past, it could be that they will be the ones who die.

Paisley lived on an island with the people who raised her but never felt like her parents. No visitors, odd deliveries, an electrified fence with no explanations leave Paisley looking for answers—but can she face the truth?

During a trip back to the island, Maddie, her FBI agent boyfriend Nick and Paisley find much more than they bargained for. What was thought to be a pet cemetery reveals the bodies of….clowns, still in full makeup, floppy shoes clutched to their chests.
