In 1923 Oregon, mixed-race Hanalee's father, Hank, was hit by a car and killed. The driver, Joe, returns from prison an outcast, which brings Hanalee and Joe together even though she knows him as her father's killer. When she begins to see Hank's ghost, it leads her to suspect foul play. While the influences from Hamlet are clear, the novel's plot flows naturally.
