When attacked while working at her aunt's coffee farm, Lani Tagama awakens to only darkness. Her sight gone, maybe forever, Lani asks guide dog trainer and ex-cop Ben Mahoney to help figure out who is after her--and why. When Ben's family is killed in a boating accident and only his small niece Meg survives, he's sure Lani remembers more than she is saying. The tentacles of danger reach down the road to an orchid farm and stretch back thirty years to a hippie colony on Kauai.
