Marnie Reilly is a hot-headed counselor with a difficult past; a dead mother, father, brother and an abusive ex-boyfriend. She has just publicly taken on "The Collective", a group of psychics and charlatans that have been selling hope at top dollar to troubled people looking for answers. They have threatened her, but she hasn't taken their "hoodoo-voodoo" nonsense seriously, until now. She realizes her duty of care toward people has placed her and her border collie Tater in danger. When the police find Marnie's ex-boyfriend's corpse in her shed, she ends up in the middle of a murder inquiry. Serious questions arise about her involvement in the murder and Marnie is certain The Collective has framed her. When two the uniformed officers guarding her are murdered on her doorstep a race for answers begins. Marnie's childhood friend, smart aleck Detective Tom Keller, and his partner, the brooding and mysterious, Detective Daniel Gregg, join forces to protect Marnie and solve the murders. Divine Guidance reminds us that there is a very thin veil between this life and the hereafter and we should not tear the veil down for personal gain. Those that dance between the veil of this life and the hereafter have a duty of care to protect the souls of the living and the realm of the spirit world. For some it is a double-edged sword, inspiring love and hate in equal measure - sometimes with deadly results.
