Danielle and her family arrive at an old Edwardian Inn in Harbor, Oregon to look at Northwest Coast real estate that her mother wants to buy at a "steal" of a price. Harbor seems to be a ghost town. Mrs. Applebaum, the owner of the Inn, says the town's been like that since 1904. Was it a tsunami? An earthquake? Wild Indians? The old lady is very close-lipped.
Danielle at once sees a dark-haired girl in a cigar-shaped canoe out on the ocean. The girl has colorful beads around her neck and wears a ceremonial, pincushion headdress with bird feathers. She sings, gazing up to the sky where a giant eagle soars overhead.
The bird swoops down, picks up the girl, and flies off with her. It's only the first of a series of strange happenings, including having to babysit a lighthouse whose beam hasn't gone out once in a hundred years. At night a bonfire appears on the beach. A mysterious light at sea shoots its beams toward the shore.
What does it all mean? To find out the answer might cost Danielle her own life.
