Synopsis

Harper Blaine, the Seattle private investigator who can walk in the Grey, is hired by a university research group that is attempting to create an artificial poltergeist. The head researcher suspects that someone in the group is faking the phenomena, but Harper’s investigation reveals something else entirely: they have succeeded. When one of the group is brutally murdered, Harper needs all the help she can get to work out whether the killer is the ghost itself or someone all too human.
