As the guests leave, they find a dead woman on their front steps, murdered. When police jail her mentor for the crime, Sarah gains notoriety as the "ghost girl" and must take to the city in disguise to find the killer. Her search takes her from the mansions of the rich to the basements of Harlem. Sarah risks her reputation and life in her quest to free her mentor. Can her “psychic abilities” help her solve this mystery?
