In 1890s Missouri, secrets are
a matter of survival.
Clairvoyant Sarah Richardson screams as her older sister Katherine is forced into a straight-jacket and thrust into a carriage bound for the St. Louis City Lunatic Asylum.

Now, too frightened to speak up, she hides the truth that it should have been her in that carriage.
