Enter Ewen Ives, an itinerant rake and inventive wanderer who is keenly aware of the Malcom family's power. When Felicity's plea for help meets Ewen's curiosity, a chemistry born of curiosity and daring develops. Together, they must navigate the risks of her psychic gift while exploring whether love can be found in a world where emotions are transparent only to her.
