Francesca Swart is a 33 year old woman who has a gift: physical contact with objects and people, allows her to see fleeting visions, flashes and images that are linked in some way to the person whom she is tracking down. It’s a unique gift that allows her to resolve cases where the police are at their depths, but in doing so, she attracts wrath and envy of powers deeply rooted in the Capital. Her help is seeked by diverse personalities, all afflicted by a strong dose of despair. Francesca carefully selects the cases she is going to pursue. She only takes cases of missing innocent children. She’s the one paying the greatest price for her own services. These are not clients. She has to deal with such a large doses of negativity that makes herself too exposed to the dark forces that rule the universe.
