This story takes place in San Francisco, California. More specifically, it takes place in North Beach, a traditionally Italian region. Jim Reilly is a lean, skinny fourteen-year-old boy. He goes to high school. The boy lives with his grandfather. His mother died when he was only six. But now his life is getting better. Jim has friends and he likes studying, unlike many others. But one foggy February evening Jim is walking past an abandoned wooden mansion. Suddenly he sees the pale face of a little girl with long black hair in its window. Then it disappears. What is this? Jim doesn't believe in ghosts. But the boy realizes that something strange is going on in this mansion. And how will it end?
