Jack Whelan is a formerLos Angeles Police Department (LAPD)detective who is asked to investigate strange occurrences related to a string of attempted suicide. Despite his efforts, he is stumped. He concentrates his search on asecret society,Qui Reverti (Latin for 'who return'), whose members chase immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others after their own deaths. Agents of the society, called "Shepherds", find the hosts of the returning souls and show them "triggers"––items important to the returning Qui Reverti members in their past lives––that "awaken" the returning soul. Once awakened, the intruding soul engages in a battle of wills with the host's soul, with the losing soul sent to theafterlife. In Whelan's case, this process destroys his marriage when his wife's body is taken by an intruder.
A serial killer named Marcus Fox comes back to life in the body of a little girl. Both souls fight for control, causing their memories to become confused. The struggle is exacerbated when the little girl becomes aware of the Qui Reverti guidebook for returning souls and begins using the information without truly understanding it.
