Outcast and failed fortuneteller Messina returns to her hometown to save her daughter Claire from a syndicate that aims to exploit her gift of fortunetelling. When Messina returns, she finds her daughter caught in debt and the squabble of a petty syndicate running a band of fortunetellers for the unwary, desperate answer-seekers. For years, their hometown has been grooming one great fortuneteller just as they had hailed Dorothea as the town's leader. Dorothea is Claire's grandmother who appears in her dreams. A helpful fortuneteller named Rachel teaches Messina that the only way to save her daughter is to embrace a gift she has vowed to give up: the ability to see the future, no matter how bleak and inescapable.
