In the glamorous seaside town of Burning Cove, California, nestled in the 1930s, a diverse cast of characters seeks more than they bargained for. Maggie Lodge, the assistant to the reclusive advice columnist known as Dear Aunt Cornelia, hires the down-but-not-quite-out private eye, Sam Sage, to help track down the person blackmailing her employer.

Despite being a mismatched pair, Maggie and Sam are fiercely attracted to each other. However, they are both convinced that it would be a mistake to let passion take over, as they are both keeping secrets from one another. Sam is haunted by a past that includes a marriage shattered by betrayal and violence, while Maggie is troubled by intense and vivid dreams that she can sometimes control, leading some to believe she should be committed to an asylum, while others want to run experiments on her for their own purposes.

As the pair delves deeper into the mystery, they discover that someone is impersonating Aunt Cornelia at a conference on psychic dreaming, and a woman dies at the conference. This opens the door to a dangerous web of blackmail and murder, with secrets from the past being revealed, leaving Maggie and Sam in the path of a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to exact vengeance.

The glamorous seaside playground of Burning Cove attracts a diverse cast of characters, including Hollywood stars, mobsters, and spies, all of whom find more than they bargained for in this mysterious town. Maggie and Sam, despite their differences, must work together to uncover the truth and stop the ruthless killer before it's too late.

The story is a thrilling and atmospheric mystery, set against the backdrop of the 1930s and the enigmatic world of psychic dreaming. The dynamic between Maggie and Sam, with their mismatched personalities and secrets, adds an intriguing layer to the narrative, as they navigate the dangerous waters of blackmail and murder.
