Beatrice Monroe is still getting used to the knowledge that she was born a champion for Good and Evil. She spends her days combing through her great grandmother's journals trying to find answers to what this newfound ability means for her as a member of law enforcement. When a woman walks into her precinct claiming her aunt was murdered, Beatrice discovers a link between their families that may just have the answers she needs. But those answers are not easy to find. Because this mystery's roots are buried in the past with five young girls and what they gave birth to...in The Big House.
