Frannie McCabe is chief of police in Crane's View a small town in New York state. He is generally happy with his lot, having outgrown his wild rebellious teenage years to become a respected member of the community, and is happily married with a teenage stepdaughter.
But then a couple well known for their domestic disturbances disappear in the middle of a screaming row, a stray dog that died in his office won't stay buried, a dead girl talks to him and a mysterious multi-coloured feather keeps appearing in the strangest places. And his seventeen-year-old self pays him a visit to tell him that there is a puzzle that he has to solve.
