It's a beautiful autumn day when Sarah rides her horse up Stony Mountain and discovers a crime scene. Another young girl, Katie Sackett, has been brutally murdered, her body dumped on the mountain. As Sarah approaches, Katie's ghost makes an impassioned plea: Will Sarah find the man who killed her?
Riding away, Sarah finds herself involved in an interview with the local TV station, WSTB. That evening, the news anchor wraps up the murder segment by stating that Sarah is using her psychic abilities to discover the identity of the killer.
He's beaten two girls to death. Now the news reveals that some busybody psychic is after him. There's only one thing he can do about it, and he has to do it soon-find and kill the psychic.
