Accidentally or on purpose, Ruthie is gone. And now Sirena is left to paint in the background of her life, to find the colors of her past that faded so quickly away when her mother stepped into the bay for a midnight swim and never resurfaced again. At least not in a living breathing form. Augie and Miss Lillian, a haunting couple from the past, lead Sirena through the labyrinth of her journey into her soul. As time wraps around itself and the storm of 1900 Galveston comes to life, Sirena peeks through the veils of time and paints an eerie portrait of life within the shadows of the final storm.
