Elaine Brinsfield is an independent, attractive young woman who loves her job as a daycare teacher. To her vivacious roommate, Caro Tovar, and her co-workers, the only thing missing in Elaine's life is a good man. That man seems to be Ken Lammerson, the handsome police officer who comes to Elaine's rescue and is immediately attracted to her. A victim of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather, Elaine can't bear the thought of being touched by a man. The coping mechanism of astral projection she used as a child returns unbidden, accompanied by the threatening appearance of ghostly evil spectral beings. The gift-or curse-of astral projection enables Elaine to solve a vicious murder, but skeptical cops make her the number one suspect.
