Jessamyn Teoh is closeted, broke, and moving back to Malaysia, a country she left when she was a toddler. So when Jess starts hearing voices, she chalks it up to stress. But there's only one voice in her head, and it claims to be the ghost of her estranged grandmother, Ah Ma. In life Ah Ma was a spirit medium, the avatar of a mysterious deity called the Black Water Sister. Now she's determined to settle a score against a gang boss who has offended the god - and she's decided Jess is going to help her do it.

Cuando Jessamyn Teoh comienza a oír una voz en su cabeza, lo achaca al estrés. Armarizada, arruinada y sin trabajo, vuelve a Malasia con sus padres, un país que no veía desde que era una niña. Pronto, descubre que la voz no es ni siquiera suya, sino del fantasma de su distante abuela. En vida, la Ah Ma era una médium espiritual, el avatar de una misteriosa deidad conocida como la Hermana de las Aguas Negras. Ahora, está decidida a ajustar cuentas con un magnate empresarial que ha ofendido a la deidad, y ha resuelto que Jess la ayude, independientemente de los deseos de su nieta.
