Natalie Forrester was 8 years old when she witnessed her brother's murder. She returns to Vancouver Island 16 years later in an attempt to recover her memory and put her brother to rest. Natalie sees the dying before it happens.
Isaac Marquette is 12 years old and possess a supernatural gift that defies physics--he transitions from real time and place to attend the dying. Issac is a dead-ringer for his uncle Lance, the King's Ferry Killer's first victim, and as he moves deeper into his gift, encourntering the killer, he realizes that he has, perhaps, too much in common with the victims.
Graham Marquette is chief of police of the small coastal town of King's Ferry, but his need to apprehend the killer is far more personal than professional when his son becomes the killer's next target.
Together they are the before, the during, and the AFTER DEAD.
